bbc presenters

[ACE]

Last night I watched the Hampton court show on the telly. Carol Klien aka 'the bag lady' was moaning about that there were no veggies in the flowerbeds of the Daily mail garden. There was a huge veggie patch around the back of the house, but I don't suppose she would have been allowed to go around there, as the greedy pig always scoffs anything that is within her reach.

Why would you want to plant veggies in a nice flower bed when half the garden is a veggie patch. Stupid woman!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Froglegs]

Think of the ooooohhhh she would have let out if she had seen it. :-X ;D ;D

[Tin Shed]

I shouted at the TV as well, Ace. She [or the researcher writing the script] obviously hadn't had a good look at the garden at all. Anyway I am off to Hampton Court  in the morning armed with wet wether gear!

[emmy1978]

;D  O.K emmy1978 you have won, what plant stall.

Well GV i might just not tell you!! It is for school fair. My first venture as charitable mummy and I blame the whole thing on Sarah as it was her idea.

[gordonsveg]

  Great emmy1978, hope you make £££££££££££££s

[ACE]

Well, what was she wearing today! somebody aught to say something. At least she wasn't filling her face. Talking about faces, If my dog had a face like hers I would shave his backside and teach him to walk backwards.

[tricia]

She was wearing a skimpy bright green top with a long frou frou scarlet skirt. She looked like a freshly pulled vegetable  ::). Her sense of style and hairdo makes me laugh  ;D ;D.

[Eristic]

She should at least have had the decency to have had a haircut!

[asbean]

She doesn't need a haircut, just a good brush and comb would do wonders.  But I think it is a style for women of a "certain" age - I've seen a lot of them around, and call it the hedgehog style  ;) ;) ;)

[markfield rover]

My OH thinks I look like her, pah! Iam at least 10 years younger , still he may be walking again by Christmas!

[kenkew]

I'll have you lot know I'm in love with Carol!... :P

[Hot_Potato]

well I'm certainly not 'in love' with her but I do like her!...maybe cos I'm a lady of 'a certain age' too ;) altho I don't wear my hair in that spiky way!

but last night's edition of 'Hampton Court' where she was twirled around by Bruno Tonioli had me feeling somewhat 'hot under the collar' and squirming in my seat :o (& some of his remarks did)

[kenkew]

Ladies of a 'Certain Age' have an air of mystery.(  ;) ) Very puzzling to us other species. I started off not liking Carol, but now I like her 'don't give a s*d' attitude'....but, yes, the 'Oooo's and Aahh's are a bit painful..But I still like her down to earth attitude.

[valmarg]

I like Carol as well.  You cannot fault her on enthusiasm.  Something that has been sadly lacking on Gardenersl World since Geoffrey Smith, Roy Lancaster and Geoff Hamilton!!

At least she is prepared to get her hands dirty, unlike that dreadful Rachel deThame woman.

Over the past 40 years of Gardeners' World, Carol is by no means the worst presenter!!

I agree with you H_P about  the 'dancing' with Bruno Tonioli (who the bl**dy hell is he??).  Give her her due, Carol did look embarrassed.  I think in this instance she was a victim of the general BBC policy of dumbing down!!

[kenkew]

Hear, Hear.....or, after looking at Carol's danglers...is it maybe, ear, ear?

[ACE]

'hot under the collar'

Yes I came over 'all unnessessary' ( is that the way to spell it),  until the doc martins brought me down to earth.

I might be mixing it up with 'mississipi'
