The charity created the allotment in the back garden of its
Westminster headquarters amid great fanfare last Spring.

A year on with nobody bothering to tend it, the allotment is now
an eyesore covered in rotting leaves.

A Trust employee admitted: "We did have an allotment but now its
buried under leaves. No-one had the time to look after it."

It would also appear that no one at the telegraph had time to go and
photograph it.

I think it might be an idea to plant fruit trees then the staff there
in the autumn would just have ti pick.
They could get someone in from the Royal Parks to prune one day a
year.

On the other hand, the National Trust often seems to have money coming
out of its ears, so we should probably heap contempt and derision on
them for perpetrating a paltry publicity stunt with no proper plan to
perpetuate it. Every year, I forget to cancel my subscription, and I bet
I'm not the only contributor out of sheer inefficiency. I'd actually
rather give my money to Save The Children or something like that; but do
I actually _do_ something about it? Do I buggery!
