Hi Steve,
Yes, I'm sure you're a real sweetie. As for being pretty, you look just
like all the other garden urglers to me: Dotty eyes, hyphen nose and double
grin!

No, I'm sure you weren't going to throw rocks at the GC(!), but even verbal
brickbats would do them harm. It's not one of the huge nation-wide
companies, but a friendly, local, one-man operation.

Sorry if I sounded a bit uptight, but I have a certain affection for this GC
and its staff (those I know well enough). It really is a great garden
centre with a good selection of unstressed plants, and gardening
accessories, plus advice if needed.
They also have great security and very high gates!
Regards and best wishes for the new year.
Spider

Hello Steve and Franz,
Many thanks for your good wishes.
Sorry Steve, but I agree wholeheartedly with Franz (obviously a very
nice
chap)

So am I

I would love to be able to name it and praise it for being such a great
garden centre, but have no intention of dragging the GC and its
proprietor
through the mire. As Franz says, sufficient reparation has been paid
and
to
cause them commercial injury now would be ignoble.
Hope you understand.
Regards,
Spider

Snip next 10 copies of paragraph. How do you manage that?

I was only wondering. I wasn't going to go round and throw rocks or
anything. I'm a nice chap too. Not pretty, but you can't have everything
:-))
