I watched Alan Titchmarsh last night and yes it was quite good but if
the two clash then GW will win every time

I must admit it's probably because I haven't watched it for a long time
but I was talking to a customer yesterday, and they said that it was a
heck of alot better since monty don took over.


Well I have. Whilst GW is somewhat better for having Monty Don back I am
afraid GW lost me many years ago and it hasn't done anything to reverse its
credentials enough for me to return.

Alan Titchmarsh on the other hand can present a coffee book gardeners
programme and I can still watch him. Its partly knowing he has credentials
( and isn't just a silly garden designer - or worse jewelry designer turned
gardener , no offence meant) .

Well, if no offence meant, why say it? You might as well say "he only
got a 2:2 in English". I agree AT's professional credentials are far
better; but has MD made a mistake yet?

(I award Monty the "real gardener" accolade because last week he was
gardening in what turned out to be the trousers of the suit he was to
wear at the live show. Only a genuine gardener would do something that
silly with his best suit! Mind you, it _was_ purple, which is a bit
designery for me.)
