I was in our local Focus yesterday pricing up some kitchen units, and
as is my want I wandered out to their plant section.
In the last few months it has been run down drasticaly, most of the
indoor plants having vanished and the hardy stock being reduced by
about 70%.
Well they had 2 Danish Trollies of Very nice indoor cyclamen (outside
when the forecast was saying we might get the first frost of the year)
rather like this

in 5 or 6 inch pots and all labeled as "Dianthus" and priced at £1.25
or 5 for £5.00, just wish I had time to do a car boot sale, I'd have
bought the lot at that price.
I told the manager who was on the phone at the time, he just shruged
his shoulders and said "So what?"
I'd have thought the nursery making up the order whould have done the
pricing, just gives you great faith in the "profesionals".

Some "Manager" that, no concern about a possible financial loss to his firm
or charge of miss-labelling. If he had been doing his job properly he would
have already seen and sorted it and given his staff something to think about
in the process.
Country's full of Administrators (sit behind a desk) but because it's more
difficult and time consuming we seem to have fewer and fewer real Managers
(walk about looking, hands on).
