Just a quick question to DD.As a moderator in a respected position do you have to wear a uniform?I love a man in a uniform :oops: :oops: Now that would cheer me up when i come to cull the sprouts.

You'd better sit down in that case.

A uniform is not mandatory, but we are encouraged to wear one where possible. We have to supply our own though, as generous as John is with our wages, he's a bit tight when it comes to uniforms.

However, here's me being thanked by the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire, (left!), for services rendered to AVG.

You must be a senior police officer. What rank were you when you retired ?

So senior, I'd have to kill myself if I told you.

OK - PC.

Well its better to retire a respected well liked PC who made a difference than a Superintendant who didn't !

Thats partly the enjoyment, along with savings and of course the eating.

Must say out of 8 plants so far, cropped at least 6lb maybe more,
fed at least four families so far and there's lots left.
All for a few pence worth of seeds.

Best wishes PAH
