Does anyone have experience of growing sweet potatoes in UK?

There is some information on RHS website

Just wondered if anyone had tried and what the results were.

There has recently been a thread on this that came off the post by Natalie
on the 12/5 titled "Butternut Squash".

Marshalls sell slips (rooted cuttings)of a variety they say has been bred to
grow in cooler climates.
They arrived a month too late last year and we only got pencil thin sweet
potatoes all of which had been slugged. We didn't bother this year as I
can't see them bulking up even if planted a month earlier.
