Anyone else doing the gardening quiz in the Telegraph on Saturday? I've
done all but about two questions.?

No. Go on then, tell us what the last two are :-)

Janet


Well I thought I knew one, but now I find that I can't decide if a
Norfolk hoe has two, four prongs or one blade or a blade and four
prongs! I thought it had just four prongs but someone has now told me
that's not correct!

However anyone can take part so why not have a go?

Moral objections to supporting a chauvinistic rag that incites hatred
against the vulnerable. Since you asked.



But you don't have to read the newspaper to enter the quiz!
Though I would have the same objection as you if I were told to buy the
Guardian................

One question was:
The plant hunter, David Douglas, worked for the Horticultural Society,
(the forerunner of the RHS), in the 19th century and in 1834 lost his
life while plant hunting in the Sandwich Islands when he was
a) Eaten by a shark
b) Bitten by a snake
c) Gored by a bull
d) Attacked by killer bees

But there's also accusations of foul play out there

Curious. Which vulnerable people do you feel that the Guardian is
promoting a campaign of hatred against?

Please note that the fact that it is a terrible rag in most respects
is irrelevant to that question. You are required to identify a group
of vulnerable people that it is inciting hatred against. If you
answer "financiers" or "the Quorn", please justify your use of the
word "vulnerable" :-)

Define 'Middle England'?
As a 'Worcester woman' now living in 'the most average ward in the UK'
I'd have thought I came close to the definition, but I've never felt the
Guardian to be waging a campaign of hatred against me.

Nor would I have thought that 'Middle England' was particularly
vulnerable.
