I'm forming a posse to drive him out of town. Who's with me? ;)


YEE-HAW! Saddle up '-)

No, no! Keep him in Guildford, I say. That means he won't be in Leeds.


I can't understand why people don't like him,

Irritating mock arguments with co presenters (why do programme makers
today seem to think our attention will flag unless presenters argue with
each other) and general 'I am a harmless idiot' style. And over-
exposure.

although I admit to not
normally watching his programmes. I always thought of him as the Delia
Smith of gardening

Ah, well, I don't like her either.

That's altogether different. Not exactly as docile as AT. Anyway, I

Anyway, wossermatter with Beecham? He was a nice old buffer.

Oh dear! He was tagged on the end. He was indeed a nice old buffer,
although I should think he would have hated being called 'nice':)

Maggie Thatcher was famous for weeding her vegetables out of the
cabinet.

Not exactly what I had in mind:)

Until he was stopped in his tracks.

In 1961. Sadly missed by the Royal Philharmonic innit.

Thatcher's weedkiller was sprayed about willy nilly and killed many thriving
industries and manufacturing plants. Her weedkiller ruined this country and
she had the nerve to cry when she was kicked out of Downing Street. Pity she
didn't go down like lots of hardworking people did.

Actually, the converse was true. Anyone who showed the slightest
bit of spine (not necessarily hawthorn, as Howes didn't have much
more than a damson) was weeded out. By the end, there were ONLY
vegetables left - with sticky willy Whitelaw being the only one
that anyone knew the name of even at the time.

A challenge: name another, and position, at the time she finally
got the most ancient Order of the Boot.

And when he was being grand. One day when he was walking from place
to place the weather got unexpectedly warmer, so he hailed a cab,
gave the driver his (?)fur coat, and said "Follow me about."
