soon ruin a car's interior no matter how careful you are, I speak from

Excuse me for butting into this to ask a question. A friend of mine would
like to know if it's illegal to sell the produce you have grown on an
allotment. She's American and an admirer of Alan Coren. She read a story
of his about a child who found his parents selling their produce and
ratting
on them!

It's not illegal but it may be contrary to your contract with the landlord.
Usually they don't give a monkeys as long as you don't run your allotment as
a business

Thanks Robert. That explains it - different rules and regs in different
places.
