I also have Adblock plus running, and am happy with it. I disabled NoScript as I got fed up continually having to allow things. In general, I have no idea whether something should be allowed to run or not. Just looking at the NoScript webpages, there are 350 lines on the features page and well over 1000 on the faq page. Too much information, maybe? Maybe I'll try again in future and persevere with it. -- Jeff |

If you mean, do I know anything about that website and the persons named, no. *Though I may have an opinion of anyone who plans to earn £150 from taking 10 people for a 2- hour nature walk. If you meant, have urglers ever come across foraging and "eating weeds" aka wildplants and do they know anything about it, then yes. * *Janet Sorry if you had problems with my Question Janet, I thought it was quite a simple question and un ambigious as I had put "Eating Weeds" in inverted commas to denote the site rather than the activity, If I have to ask another question I will try to make it more simple3 so you don't have problems with it.

Jack-by-the Hedge a.k.a garlic mustard is brilliant, put it in your sandwiches instead of lettuce. |
