stealing from Garden Centres
I am very fond of Fuchsias and earlier this week I was wandering and looking
at fuchsias in my local garden center, I found several that I liked,. Fuchsias are so easy to propagate I wondered how many people do snip bits off and take them home ? If anyone from Coinros just outside Lydney Glos.- well worth a visit if you are in the area - is reading this, no, I didn't steal any bits I am coming back to buy the plants as soon as I can :-) kate |

No not for picking up their dog mess, but little bags to take a snipping. Seen it. Not too often I hasten to add but seen it. Admission. A lot of our hedges are from when we did just that on or from overhanging hedges on the Cliff Path near us.

I just can't help it - but not fuchsia because I don't really like them. I've just took/done over 10 cuttings from hedges bordering an old college near my home - viburnum tinus, hydrangea macrophelia (I think the quadricolour one, hopefully), and the oak leaf one. I don't feel bad - but I would from a garden centre and I have never took from one. I wouldn't from a botanic garden or a park, and I have done it many times - I would actually imagine that my garden are perhaps 40% 'stolen' cuttings :o) |

It beetle poo I think, and you see the undersides of the leaves all beetley. It is incurable and you can't dump it either, you have to burn it in situ, and it infects everything. I can't describe what the smell is like, cos it isn't like anything else, but it's pungent, a sort of rotten smell, quite unbearable. I hope you don't get it, but of course, if you do, it will be just retribution for stealing the cutting in the first place :-) |

I'm trying to carry on I quit over ten years ago at the same time as the Mrs. Not had a smoke since and certainly no desire to do so. I'd given up several times for varying durations prior to the successful giving up. The key to success seemed to be one of mental attitude. The first few failed times there was an attitude of "I'm trying to give up smoking" - which just seems to cause internal strife. The successful attitude was "I don't smoke". and "I'm a none smoker". If you take that attitude you've already won. Never torment yourself saying "I'd love a smoke" - if you do it's be thin end of the giving up wedge. Just move on. It gets easier. Eventually you'll regard cigarettes as objects of contempt. David. |

summer it was funny to see that everybody was really pleased to tell me that they also had a ban on smoking in public, however it is not applied in restaurants, cafes and bars ... g Smoke has prevented us from eating at French cafes and restaurants in the UK. There has also been occasions we've stepped through the door at a pub in England and been hit in the face with a cloud of stinking smoke, so we've just turned around and gone out the door again. The impact on pub / restaurant / cafe's works both ways. Only last week we were in a nice French cafe having a couple of coffees wondering whether to have lunch there. Some bloke walked in and stood near us puffing on a cigar. We left. David. |

You know the funniest thing about life? Nobody, but NOBODY gets out of it alive! Another thing - smoking is a matter of choice, fluoridation of the water supply _isn't_! I think I should be left to choose the mode of my demise...? YMMV. As a non-smoker, I respect the right of smokers to smoke, they take the decision to do so and the responsibility. If a smoker came to my house, they would be welcome and I know they would be considerate of me, so when are you coming AnneJ? What I don't understand is the lobby that goes on about anti-chemicals because of risk to health, if a smoker stands on the soap box expounding the healthy way forward for eating veggies without chemicals, what does that say about them, do they know the number of carcinogenic chemicals they are putting into their body? I do, they can puff away to their hearts content but don't lecture me on the use of chemicals as I don't lecture them on self-induced absorption of chemicals from smoking. Judith |

I'd given up several times for varying durations prior to the successful giving up. The key to success seemed to be one of mental attitude. The first few failed times there was an attitude of "I'm trying to give up smoking" - which just seems to cause internal strife. The successful attitude was "I don't smoke". and "I'm a none smoker". If you take that attitude you've already won. Never torment yourself saying "I'd love a smoke" - if you do it's be thin end of the giving up wedge. Just move on. It gets easier. Eventually you'll regard cigarettes as objects of contempt. I found it very easy to give up smoking, it was immediately after I had my first one in the gods at the Chiswick Empire, it was so disgusting I never ever went anywhere near another! |

As much I as do have problems with artificial chemicals in general, my main worry is the use of chemicals in small back gardens by naive and ridiculous people. However what has most overwhelmed me was the realisation of somebody I thought I knew but who turned out to be a ****. I didn't know we had met!(:-) |
