I did not see this prog. but have heard about it. My daughter lives in
Edinburgh and spends lots of time walking her dog on Blackford Hill. She
sent me a photograph that showed the river/sea in the background the city
and castle and in the foreground a quite large gathering of allotments. She
tells me that the people there are a very happy and social bunch, they help
each other out if needed and have many a outdoor party down there, sounds
good to me.

kate,

I saw that programme. I've had my allotment for 22 years until having
to give up this year. I've never encountered anything like that. All
our allotmenteers are friendly people. They only showed the people who
battled with their competitors. What about all the others on that
site? We didn't hear from them. That young man needed someone to take
him in hand and give him some advice, not antagonise him.
Just a bit of hyped up stuff to make a programme about!
