No you failed to read the precise description that Sacha clearly gave.
You responded by offering 2 varieties that could not possibly have
matched her description and oe that is almost unknown, made worse by
your failure to give the full name.

I'm sorry Dave but this is far too pedentic. On the 16th I wrote after
Sacha's post:

I knew I hadn't imagined it and would find it. Check this link to
find
Jackman's Prostrate which is so like the one you describe. I'll get
some pictures of it from a friend. The leaves are a bit broader and
waxy. The catalogue pdf gives you details of it.

You did not say Prostrate, which is what defines that rosemary. You use
this silly, childish, ridiculous excuse over and over again but the FACT is,
you did not name this plant correctly.

I don't want to talk further about it. I know what I wrote, we all
know what I wrote. You cannot change that. And that is that.

Yes indeed, we do all know what we/you wrote and the consensus of opinion is
that you wrote a lot of rubbish, lied and twisted about it and continue to
do so.

It was Charlie Pridham who mentioned Burncoose not you. He knows
Burncoose, Sacha knows Burncoose, I know Burncoose and a whole lot of
other people here know Burncoose.

And I know Burncoose too. Amazing isn't it?

If you did, it would be truly amazing. Do you know something? I don't
believe you. I don't believe you AT ALL. By knowing Burncoose I think your
twisted version of the truth is that you've looked it up on Google.

Because if you had been to Burncoose yourself and if you knew Burncoose you
would have said *immediately* that you had seen their rosemary and were able
either to be certain it is the one I'm trying to identify or it is not. The
very second Charlie mentioned it, you would have leaped into the discussion
to say you'd seen it too and to give your opinion on the rosemary both of
you had seen there. I can write your script for you "Ho yes, Charlie! I
saw that one, too!"

Your character would make it impossible for you to do otherwise. You would
have treated us to a long dissertation on the length and position of the one
at Burncoose, the soil it is grown in and how it does or does not resemble
one of the ones your grandfather had or some friend you've talked to on the
phone, which makes you the rosemary expert. It is *impossible* for anyone
with experience of you on this group to believe that you have been to
Burncoose for that simple reason - you just could not have kept your mouth
shut on the matter. Indeed, I actually asked you if you had seen the
Burncoose rosemary and YOU DID NOT ANSWER ME. So no, you have NOT been to
Burncoose because if you had, you couldn't possibly have resisted saying so.
Perhaps you better jump in your car and drive there right now to be
photographed looking at their sign - or do a bit of chicanery with
Photoshop. I don't think you'd even heard of Burncoose or its rosemary until
Charlie mentioned it and why? First you do not tell the truth, second you
have only just thought to say you 'know' Burncoose because David has raised
the matter most emphatically and third for all the reasons I give above.
And finally, in Manchester you couldn't possibly grow or use the majority of
the plants sold at Burncoose and nor could your URBED clients there or in
Scotland.


And as for my mistake with
Bruncoose - it's all too silly. I am a foreigner and English is not my
first language. We could go on for ever with this.

Isn't it funny that when it suits you, you're a foreigner among a load of
Francophobes? But didn't you say you had spent 25 years in this country?
I can spell Pepinière Filippi, having never lived in France and having
visited that nursery only once. But you can't spell Burncoose because
English isn't your first language. Quite. BUT, according to you, you KNOW
Burncoose and have been there, so will have seen all its signs, leaflets,
literature and plant labels and still can't spell it. All I can say to that
piece of garbage is - garbage.


I have made lovely
friends on this forum. Just about to find about someone who I knew
before. Life goes on Dave. It really does. So I'll stop here if you
don't mind.

Oh please do. Do stop. They have nothing to do with the lies you tell and
the insults you throw around you like confetti.
