Allotments 4 All

Located 3 of you(//)Wills, Plocket, Feet of Clay, any others? You know who you are, I don't feel so lonely now, oh yes and Jak who I see is very near to me.Seems strange doesn't it? :-\

All of whom Val? ???

All members of A4ALL are acounted for. Or is this some 'club within a club' noones told me about? ::)

Sorry Richard everyone from the beeb site I should have said, seems like most of them ended up here, I was feeling a bit lonely but I guess they've all spread themselves out. :P

I'm from the beeb site - thankfully! = Tim

Hi Tim, been here long? It seems so huge doesn't it? Hopefully they won't shut us down here , its got some good sites hasn't it?

 I am also from the beeb site and what a find it is ,you will not find another site to match this one.  A fantastic moderator,  8) and very friendly helpful people.  You should fit in nicely for our pre christmas party next week any excuse you see. ;D ;D ;D
      Cheers Rosebud.

 ;D
Hello Val, and all the others on A4A, old and new, I received your mail. So that technical hurdle has been taken too.  Still have to get a bit used to the workings of this site.
Had to register under the name of "William O"

Hi Val,

I'm from the beeb site as well.  Feel a bit mean leaving all my friends over there (some of which are here though), but this is such a good site that I just had to stay :D

Pat

Oh, William of Orange I presume??  = Tim

Well, I'm dutch allright, and my name is William
Logging in as William was not possible (that vacancy had already been taken). So I added the O.
Just popped in on A4A to have a look around, to see if some of the people that are missed in action after the removal of "over the garden fence" can be located here.

Must say the facilities over here are pretty good, but the plot is also much bigger. I still have to find my way a bit.

See you

 8) Hi everyone, glad to see a lot of familiar names and hope to make new friends, its strange dipping the toe in the water on new sites a bit uncomfortable to start with.

Hi Val,

I defected from the Beeb some time ago - just like Pat, Richard, Tim etc.

Isn't it strange how we all came together again over here?  

Glad to have you 'aboard.'


Eileen.

Hi Val, Tim ,Pat ,Richard ,Rosebud,William O,Richard,Plocket F.O.C and Jak.Shan't mention beeb nomore.New site, New Life.

 ;)Its good to see everyone is okay , bless you and catch up with you all on the boards. :-*

Hi Everyone from OTGF! And anyone else reading this! Got a reply from the BBC today by e-mail which still just really says that they are reviewing the situation and trying to get us to use the Sofa. I told them that we were mostly using A4A now. Don't know what they will think about that!

Hi K 68 lovely to see you here.great site great people.
Our moderator Dan the man is the best ever thats why this is such a success and a happy place to be.
   

Hellooooo,its Steve here from the almost defunct Beeb boards! ;D

My screen name "Bubble" is nothing to do with any sort of fetish i have for them,but a nickname a bloke at work has and i thought it sounded rather good.This site has a much happier atmosphere,but it took 2 attempts at registering using an 2nd e-mail address.The 1st password they gave me wouldnt work and no matter how many times i clicked for them to re-send me it-it never came.

Anyway,everythings fine now so...

Hey, you lot, refugees from the Beeb you might be but, as Eileen will tell you, we is nice peeps here and is a very different site!  Prepare yourselves for laid back and friendly!  In not time at all the beeb will be a distant memory!  Welcome all!

Came here from the Beeb 2-3 weeks ago and can heartily endorse the friendliness, helpfulness and general all-round niceness of this site. It's more comprehensive than the Beeb site as well.

One of the nicest things is that you don't have to have a lottie to join, because I haven't, but would hate not to be here.

Hi Roobarbpie here, another defector from OTGF. I prefer this garden bench to their plush sofa anyway. I don't have to take my wellies off and tea always tastes better outdoors. ;)

just as a matter of interest - what beeb site?  Missed that one (although I am annoyed that they seem to have removed the plant finder!)

They will still know that they were entirely correct in what they did - try listening to "Feedback" if you doubt that - and that it's US who are wrong. I'd sort of got here before the Great Defencestration, but I'm happy to see so many of the other denizens arriving.

Well I go back with the beeb for quite a while,and have also posted here for some months now. Am also a long term `sofa loafer` it`s a great place and feel free to join us-but for garden matters this is No1.

Stephan

Hi Plocket just seen your post, I don't think there's anyone left to persuade, Certainly no garden talk there.

welcome val and others as well ,  left the beeb myself cause i wasnt impressed by the way we had to finish posting by 12 , and this site seems to give more real time  . talk soon  :)

Hi Val!  The 'other' site seems to be grinding to a halt.  Chuff all new postings.  I like the feel of A4A and the speed it operates at (a son is web designer and can be critical of poor sites). Everyone seems friendly and I'm sure I'll find my way round soon. lol FOC

It was the hours that bugged me most - especially the opening hours - frequently not open till after 11am at w/e, & 10am in the week. My hours are 5.30 - 8.30. AM!= Tim

Gave up on the beeb sites long ago - became stale and restricted. Much nicer here and most of the regulars migrated over here to be with 'Dan the man'.

Hello to all 'newbies' from the BBC boards. Glad to have you on board (lol).

I used to be a regular on the BBC messageboards, until i found A4All, I hardly ever go on the BBC site these days. There seems to be a totaly different group of people on there these days, whom i dont really get on with and the changes that have been made to the site itself recently are not for the better i fear. (still as slow as ever).  >:(

That said we have a great bunch of people on A4all, and i am sure you all will fit in in no time.

Welcome to the Club  ;D

Well it seems we have a lot of old and new faces here, Its going to take time but I'll get used to it, I'm a bit of an old stick in the mud and technology scares the pants off me, but like the tortoise slow and steady wins the day. ;D

Don't worry Val - believe me, if I can do it anyone can ;D

Thank you Rosebud, for the special welcome. For you, I will kill ze bull.

Just thought I let you know, another defector from the beeb has arrived, although not as well known as all you guys.  Tim helped me a lot with my new aspargus bed, thanks Tim is going great so far..Im sure I'll get used this site eventually, it's so big it's taking me ages to work my way round, so much to read and learn..Just come in from the garden, lots of damage to the plants with this high wind, as if there's not enough to be getting on with, anyway hope this posting works see you around guy's.  love debbiep.

Hi Sweetpea, we got hit by the gales too, branches,leaves and a few pots everywhere but where they should be ,its still blowy today but not quite as much.Operation clean up!
