Anyone watch the GW special on Friday ?
The general idea of devoting so much time and resources to perfect
looking vegies is silly enough but Joe Swift didn't mention "peat
free" in the compost that he was using and another contributor
seemed to be on a personal crusade to eliminate peat-lands. (I
didn't catch whether she was using ground up babies as fertiliser )
The sainted Geoff Hamilton will be rotating in grave.


All very non-PC, wasn't it wonderful.


Actually no ; Geoff was my all-time favourite GW presenter.

Seconded. And preserving peat-lands has nothing to do with so-called
"PC": it's just a matter of intelligence. We had somebody here a while
ago apparently equating protection of limestone pavements with this
so-called "PC" as well: it's a dangerous attitude, and shouldn't be
encouraged. Caring for these sensitive natural features is simply
rational, regardless of one's political stance -- and I'm sure the Duke
of Edinburgh agrees with me!
