I'm not so sure. The headers for your doppelganger are the same as for
mine, and different from Judith in England, who says she posts
elsewhere as Judith, although I don't immediately have a message from
Judith to compare with.

In particular, the troublemaker uses Aioe and Postfilter, whereas
Judith in England uses Datemas and doesn't use Postfilter. However,
both do use the same version of Forte Agent. IIRC, the troublemaker
from the past also used Aioe and Postfilter. I suspect they're making
a nuisance of themselves again. Eventually they get bored and go away.

Apart from posting a comment that a particular message isn't from you,
I wouldn't say anything else. I just upsets people and serves the
purpose of the troublemaker.

'Judith' does this in other groups too. I have been a victim before as have
others. I use various groups and the only time this happens is when he
posts in them as too. He is a foul mouthed nasty piece of work and well
known for doing this. Him being polite is unusual and must be because he
needs information.

I don't think he realises I have been reading this group for a very long
time so noticed it immediately.

Ok I am out of this! Thank you for your response.

Mistakes he has made over a long time. He has also been caught out
forgetting to change his headers before pretending to post as other people.

I don't post here after the lies I suffered from Martin, but I do always
read because I still like to learn. I will however defend myself if I am

Of course you will be able to post some sort of proof - perhaps you have

Why would anyone want to post inane posts as if they were from you: you do it
quite well on your own.

Of course you could perhaps post one single post which proves your point: over

On the other hand - perhaps you can't.

When people make accusations and then cannot back them up in any way whatsoever
they really do show their own stupidity.

A Mandy Rice-Davies moment


Why malign that poor girl who was lead astray by the likes of Prefumo etc.

She was poor but she was honest,
though she came from 'umble stock,
And her honest heart was beating
Underneath her tattered frock.

But the rich man saw her beauty,
She knew not his base design,
And he took her to a hotel
And bought her a small port wine.

Chorus: It's the same the whole world over,
It's the poor what gets the blame,
It's the rich what gets the pleasure,
Isn't it a blooming shame?

In the rich man's arms she fluttered
Like a bird with a broken wing,
But he loved her and he left her,
Now she hasn't got no ring.

Time has flown - outcast and homeless
In the street she stands and says,
While the snowflakes fall around her,
'Won't you buy my bootlaces.'

Chorus:

Standing on the bridge at midnight
She says, 'Farewell, blighted love!'
There's a scream, a splash, good 'eavens!
What is she a doing of?

Soon they dragged her from the river,
Water from her clothes they wrang.
They all thought that she was drownded,
But the corpse got up and sang:

Chorus:

She was poor but she was honest,
Victim of a rich man's game.
First he loved her, then he left her,
And she lost her maiden name.

Then she ran away to London
For to hide her grief and shame.
There she met an Army captain,
And she lost her name again.

Not me, again. Wrong headers and no sig. Sigh!

My apologies to Chris Hogg. I have realised you did not write this or cross
post the previous one. It is one of 'Judith's' games.

'Judith' complains that he doesn't forge addresses. Technically he is
correct because he knows if he uses real address, he could be in trouble so
he uses someone's name/nick with a ' address because most
people wouldn't notice the difference and which unfortunately, you already
have, so it was hard to tell. He also does that when posting himself
because he can get away with obscenities and pretend he didn't post it.

Several people have told me he is Peter Turtill. I leave it to anyone who
cares to follow that up.

Apologies again to you, and to everyone here.

was because there were no insects about when they flowered they they didn't

Not sure about the holey leaves, but did your tree fruit well last year?

I think plum trees can be prone to the same 'biennial bearing' as some
apples. My MiL used to say her ancient old Victoria plum would fruit
poorly if it had had a very heavy crop the previous year, as if it took
an extra season to build up strength again. That seems to be true as
last year the old tree hardly had any fruit at all, but this year is
absolutely dripping with plums.

None last year, but loads the year before. Mine is a Victoria too. Perhaps
I should just keep my fingers crossed for next year? Maybe I was unlucky
this year because of a lack of insects. From what you say, no fruit this
year might mean a better crop next year ... all being well. :)

A lot of Fruit trees like a proper period of cold to set the dormant buds
for the following year, it varies a lot from variety to variety, also a cold
windy blast at the wrong time can cause mayhem with the emerging flower
buds.

I had a good set on all my fruit trees only to watch a lot go down with
scab, pear midge and plum moth.

Thank god for Figs!!

Hardly, the warmest winter in living memory and the bees started foraging
six weeks early. Not to do with cropping either, planted last year and the
first years flowers removed. Probably decided that it wasn't worth
producing any this year!

With only a small garden, we decided that the space our Viccy was taking up
and how few Plums it produced, it was a waste of valuable space, so we
hooked it out and extended the Veg gardens. 'Extended the veg gardens',
someone will love that!!! Made "another" 6 ft by 4 ft raised bed from old
fence panels to sit alongside the other 'one'!!!

Enorma Runner Beans doing fantastic and thanks for those who have been in
contact with advice and comments, great aren't they? And after last night's
rain a superb crop today :-))

Thank you. We did get a lot of bees - which I hadn't seen for a very
long time - but I think they were too late. I do have some apples
(James Grieve) but not too many. Down to weather do you suppose?

I am a beekeeper so no problem with pollinators. I just
didn't get any flowers!

Ahh that throws THAT theory out of the window then:) I didn't get any
flowers at all either. Was it exceptionally cold?

Hardly, the warmest winter in living memory and the bees started foraging
six weeks early. Not to do with cropping either, planted last year and the
first years flowers removed. Probably decided that it wasn't worth
producing any this year!

The plum tree on our allotments hasn't fruited this year either and
only one of our 4 cherries, the later flowered one, had a decent crop.
I believe it was because there were no insects about when they
flowered they they didn't get pollinated.

A lot of Fruit trees like a proper period of cold to set the dormant buds
for the following year, it varies a lot from variety to variety, also a
cold windy blast at the wrong time can cause mayhem with the emerging
flower buds.

So really, it is in the lap of the gods and there is nothing I can do but
wait? Actually hearing all this is something of a relief. I thought I had
done something wrong to it:)

I had a good set on all my fruit trees only to watch a lot go down with
scab, pear midge and plum moth.

Oh dear:(

Thank god for Figs!!

G I've never thought of growing figs:)

Well it's an idea, but I do love my plums and have had wonderful crops in
other years in other gardens. I might wait it out for while.

Not here, it wasn't. It was long and wet, and bees were in VERY
short supply until very late. My peach almost completely failed
to set for that reason, though my damsons set OK.

We haven't been here a whole year, so I can't compare with the past -
but the apple I thought I'd take down before it fell down might now fall
down under the weight of fruit, and we have loads of damsons.

Cambs FWIW.

One cherry tree had more flowers than it ever has and yet not one cherry.

Sounds like the world needs a few more apiarists. even a single hive
could make a difference for miles around.
