The spelling of "fibers" (sic) guarantees this wonderful piece of scare mongering comes from the other side of the pond where lawyers make mega-bucks by flying in the face of common sense. Over there the bottom of every milk bottle would have to be stamped "open other end". And microwave ovens marked "not for drying pets". You ought to try living here. Talk about being "once Great Britain"---try putting up with living in what was once the freeest nation on earth. Don't be too hard on us, though. Most of us love the UK side of the pond, and the possiblilties for changing back 'round over here are limitless. Just spent a couple of weeks in what once was "Great Britain".....would not give tuppence for living there now....it aint what it used to be and not by a long shot....I used to love to ride the trains to see the beautiful looking gardens at the back of the houses along the railroad tracks.... I think your memory is playing tricks. Railway tracks in the UK for the most part always go through the worst parts of town. A few may go past allotments too, but no one wants to live trains shaking their house day and night. Many allotments and school playing fields have been built on or turned into US style out of town shopping malls more....most of them looked ugly with huge weed patches and broken down greenhouses etc....looks as tho the pride that once was there has gone elsewhere.....walked around a couple of other weed patches that the locals called 'allotments'. Perhaps one day it will rule the waves again. I think you remember the past with Wratten 25 rose tinted glasses? Allotments are not as popular as they once were, and in some cities the value of land is now so high that developers are buying out the allotment holders. Regards, Martin Brown |
