My wife ("Spider" in this group) went to the local garden centre today to
spend the gift vouchers she received for Chistmas. After browsing the
outside rows of shrubs, she carried her choices to the shop only to find
that they had closed up, locked the gates and gone home at 2.30pm. The
premises are surrounded with high fences, spikes and barbed wire.
Fortunately she had her mobile phone and was able to call for help. The
local police couldn't contact the keyholder so they called out the fire
brigade with their ladders to get her over the back wall.
And she had to leave the plants behind ...

Garden centres will do anything to keep you attracted to the "bargains"!
Be interested to hear the Managers response to your wifes charge of
imprisonment against her will.

Trust she's OK after her ordeal and that she finally gets the plants she
wanted.

Sounds like she is due some more "Gift" vouchers, quite a lot I should
think.

If the GC stocked leather gloves, secateurs and pruning saws, she
could have liberated herself and all the plants:~}.

She could have got out by spinning a web, no?
Anyway, I would have thrown the plants I wanted over the fence and picked
them up once outside.

Unfortunately the tools were all locked in the building, and Spider was in
the yard outside. Plenty of plants all around, but nothing for her to
break out with. I think she will be going back there tomorrow to get the
plants, so I will ask her to post here what happened.
