Last year I grew very successfully, and for the first time,

Don't call me picky, but if there was a distinct lack of flavour,
how were you very successful? loads of tasteless greenery?

Thank you for your replies - something to think over! I hope to
get more flavour this year.
I had a lot of beans and picked them when they were quite small -
one stringy bean will ruin a panful of good beans!

I'm wondering whether too much water makes for less flavour? On the
other hand, is it actually possible to give to much water to a
runner bean?

I rarely watered them - only when there was a long dry spell and
that was rare last year!

Begs forgiveness for asking, but could they have been cooked in too
much water ..or overcooked? (Dives for cover).

Never!! Tender beans require little cooking or steaming!
