I suppose they have big staffing overheads or something but I should think we charge about £3 or £4 for 100 bulbs. I'll have to check I'm not missing something off here "in the green"? Of course. They're dug up by the estate workers and brought to us in sacks. We bundle them up in wet newspaper. I've checked with Ray and there's somewhere around 40 per bundle for £1.50. We don't count each individual one out by hand but we reckon we know how big a bundle should be! I think the double flowered ones are a bit more expensive but not enormously so. because I'm really quite shocked at that!

writes On looking at various sites selling snowdrops I came across this "Offer"; Greenfingers.com offer 75 single snowdrops for ONLY £16.49 ! I don't sell them online, but I have huge numbers in my large garden - most of them double ones - and I sell them in pots from the gate at a competitive price. At present, of course, they are hidden by snow and I cannot lift them, but as soon as the snow goes they will be available. Anyone who is within striking distance of West Berkshire and is interested can e-mail me for my location. Roy. -- Roy Bailey West Berkshire. roydotbaileyatwaitrosedotcom |

I came very close to being thrown out of the salesroom by one that got annoyed by my description of all the fancy features, like air conditioning, central locking as so on, as gimmicks that reduced the value of the car in my eyes.
