Martin,
Believe me, when you're trapped in a GC for what seems like forever, you
would be very grateful for a WC! ... but I take your point.
Happy new year.

Hi Steve,
Yes, I'm sure you're a real sweetie. As for being pretty, you look just
like all the other garden urglers to me: Dotty eyes, hyphen nose and
double
grin!

No, I'm sure you weren't going to throw rocks at the GC(!), but even
verbal
brickbats would do them harm. It's not one of the huge nation-wide
companies, but a friendly, local, one-man operation.

Sorry if I sounded a bit uptight, but I have a certain affection for this
GC
and its staff (those I know well enough). It really is a great garden
centre with a good selection of unstressed plants, and gardening
accessories, plus advice if needed.
They also have great security and very high gates!

It could have been worse according to

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/st...115122,00.html

"This year's lav
Suffolk nurse Sharon Wymark had an inauspicious start to 2004 when was
forced to celebrate the New Year locked inside a lavatory at the
Ashmore Nursing Home in Stanton, near Bury St Edmunds. Disaster struck
just before midnight, but Sharon was able to imbibe a celebratory
drink through the keyhole of the toilet door with a straw as the
chimes struck."

You too and thanks for sharing your experience.

I was once accidentally locked up by myself in a large aerospace

Jenny knows the building.

What for? Were the walls not opaque?
Was there no little hideyhole somewhere?

One of the laboratories associated with one of the accelerators at CERN had
no handy lavatory, but a very conspicuous wall with a very conspicuous
graffiti painted just above some significant stains on the wall which said

"PAS PIPI ICI"

Hi Martin,
If Jenny knows your aerospace lock-up, I can only draw one conclusion ...
she locked you up!

Franz,
I'm sure 'your' wall was a great monument to mans' competitive abilities!
{:-)), but I am a lady, and I am not in the habit of spraying walls or
irrigating 'hideyholes' .... or plants, before you say it!
Happy new year.
