I was looking forward with great interest to the allotment feature on GW
as I have taken on a new plot myself. I was looking forward to getting
real practical advice from an expert!!

So, it is NOT good that Joe Swift is the frontman for this as vegetable
growing is not his expertise and he often seems to laugh and sneer at
his fellow allotment holders who have years of advice to offer him which
he seems to treat with disdain. It used to be the case that GW
presenters were experts in their fields!

GW has now degenerated beyond belief and has become just another
lifestyle program like all those cookery programs that teach you nothing.

Ed, I do hope you've sent this to the Beeb, because if you haven't, it won't
make a ha'porth of difference. Please let them have your opinion.

Yes. I have written to BBC about this and the current general demise of GW.
