Spider Enter plenty of discussions and make sure your advert is in the signature in the form of your web site, but no more than 4 lines :-)) Just take note of examples. Mike The truth will prevail |

ADVERT to Readers.

These are secound hand and are surplus to requirements.I have had them for two years.They are 5 bar and are little used.

Without wishing to appear unduly facetious, this NewsGroup attracts contributions and readers not only from throughout the U.K including the Highlands and Islands, but from abroad. Presumably the cost of postage or carriage on a pair of gates would negate any price advantage any purchaser would obtain by buying from you on a NewsGroup. Certainly when compared with what they would have to pay at a local garden centre. These items would seem to require local pickup. Or personal delivery for a small charge perhaps. For which a small ad in a local paper or Bristol free sheet if such exists, would seem the most the most suitable medium. Or maybe a local Bristol South West Newsgroup - if such exists. For similar reasons I doubt if eBay would be of much use to you. michael adams ..... |

Many of us do that and, indeed, there are worse crimes. Janet is a plain speaker and I for one respect that - she certainly does come to the point but with her I know exactly where I stand and I know, for a certainty, she would never mis-quote me nor would she ever infer a half-truth which in my book, is the same as lying. To err is human; to forgive,divine. She certainly does that too, as I found out when I was new to urg, I made the most stupid remarks, I did the most stupid things (yes, I still do) and she never berated me but only helped with good advice - I think if we, as posters, ask advice, then we should gracefully take that advice and not seek to be smart with the person giving the advice, after all, Janet and many others like her; go to the trouble of imparting their skills in gardening by replying to the postings and I am so grateful to them that they do. Keep up the good work and in particular Janet and Sacha, Kay and Jane and all of you who have given me sound advice too numerous to mention. -- Judith Lea |

Thanks, La Puce, for politely intervening for me.snip I took Janet's comment to refer to the snarky remarks we've seen here from people who don't know - or perhaps don't care - what the advertising situation is. In truth, the charter makes it perfectly clear and it's worth looking at. It's in the abc for newcomers message which is posted weekly and is extremely helpful. That makes it clear what is and isn't permitted or welcomed on urg. I doubt the gates advert could upset anyone, however. But perhaps I'm wrong..... ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Never The moon is made of green cheese Pigs fly Water runs uphill Night does NOT follow day Never did I ever believe, that I would see the honourable Sacha even contemplate that she, of all people, could 'possibly' be wrong. What will become of urg if Sacha has the slightest element of doubt in her mind? Doooooooooooooom I tell you doooooooooom |
