The number of viewers of the Big Allotment programme has fallen to 1.7
million.
We told them so!



Talking with the lady on the next allotment to ours on Sunday morning she
asked if I'd watched it, I said I watched 10 mins of the first episode,
could not believe my eyes, and turned it off. She said she did exactly the
same and she is one that pickles, freezes, and preserves everything, does
not waste a thing. She continued whilst on her knees weeding," what has a
pristine plot ready to work got to do with any allotment you take over, and
who has a greenhouse on their plot with glass left in it, and what on earth
were those two ladies wearing besides the full makeup".
We both agreed the program has absolutely nothing to do with allotments in
real life. I do hope we do not get a crop of new plot holders on the
strength of it, they will be asking when the plot will be cleared and dug
and when the greenhouse will be delivered.
