"GM privet

There is a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of
genetically
modified products such as tomatoes and wheat crops. But there can
be
no one, surely, who would find fault with a privet hedge that can
be
grown to the height you want and never needs trimming. And that's
just what Willgrow, the world's biggest GM research centre, in
Lima, Ohio, has come up with. Its GM Perfect Privet can be grown
to
within centimetres of your desired specification.

There's a useful little dial on the packet, to set the height
you
want. Be sure to buy the UK version, or you could find the
time-zone
adjuster a bit temperamental.

NL version. My wife enjoys cutting the hedge, so we'll be setting
it
to 5 metres.

Not to be a partypooper or anything, but who wants a privet hedge
anyway?
