Just a word of warning to those who haven't had a tetanus jab lately.

Ths is very well, or perhaps not, but your husband got bitten by your
own dog and therefore didn't get infected by soil.

So, getting bitten by one's own dog is any less hazardous than being
bitten by any other? Tetanus can be transmitted via animal bites as
well as directly from the soil. Look it up!

But, he is a
nursery man, working with soil all the time. How truly bizarre to give
such a warning to gardeners who are, I very much suspect, up to date
with their jabs, I know I am - 4 years before the next one - and not
look closer to home?

Oh for goodness sake stop trying to score points by attempting a
sanctimonious jibe at what was a well-meaning warning brought on by an
accident that could befall us all. Remembering to get jabs is easily
forgotten by many and I wouldn't mind betting that most gardeners are
equally forgetful.

Stop trying it on, I can see the game you're trying to play. Don't
start that again Puce.

Ok. I'm sorry. You're right. It wasn't entirely intended in a 'bad'
sense though, and I was surprised that an event like this brought on a
warning about tetanus. I hope we'll hear from you when jokes are on
the OP at my expenses. Especially regarding fleas (and ticks etc) ;o)

i thought it was just me who had a problem with her she went mad when
i mentioned her diesel bus and called me all sorts of names. everyone
by now knows exactly what she is up to and now that she has been
sussed by others she will move on trolls as usually do.
