My 10 y.o. grand-daughter thinks it incredibly funny that her Nana, who can tell at a glance exactly how many tiles will be needed for any particular wall, cannot for the life of her understand Sudoku... it's just totally defeats me! I cannot understand the interest in Sudoku at all, I am addicted to the codewords. I keep asking 'What is the _point_' of it! Crosswords, I absolutely love, and find them a worthwhile challenge... |

I agree sudoku is pointless, but killer sudoku thats another matter, I have no doubt I would gain several hours each day if I could go cold turkey and stop ( www.killersudokuonline.com ) check out the greater than killer at the bottom! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Very sad if Suttons comes to an end. If there is land involved then I wouldn't be surprised Wyvale buys it. They seem to be buying up every other brown site around. The propertiesd alone will be worth a fortune as more houses are needed, but what happens to people wanting plants and nice centres? |

When did they sell out to a French company then? Why on earth did a French company want it anyway, haven't they got enough UK stuff with the water boards? Seems to me you can't expect the same level of commitment to UK base enterprises if you sell out to overseas investors.

The propertiesd alone will be worth a fortune as more houses are needed, but what happens to people wanting plants and nice centres? Locally garden centres are closing down all the time in Holland. There are none left in the town we live in. The nearest one in the next village is going to focus on garden design and selling garden furniture, and will no longer sell plants. His plants were good, but his garden design isn't. It seems that more and more people want plantless gardens. -- Martin- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I don't know where you live in Holland but I have friends in Amsterdam and Rotterdam and I found great garden centres/nurseries there, although the last time I visited one was a few years ago so maybe things have changed.

We live between Amsterdam and the Hague. Things have changed. There are a few garden centres, but nowhere near as many as five years ago. The big ones survive. The small and medium size ones have been closing. Similarly there are derelict greenhouses all over the place. -- Martin- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That would explain it as it must be at least five years since I was at the Hague. O.T. I know but I loved the Rembrandt Museum at the Hague and that small self portrait in oils where his eyes follow you everywhere, genius. Judith |
