Hampton Court saturday ..traffic jam cause?
Horrendous traffic from the M3 towards HC, gave up after moving a few
hundred yards in 20 mins, turned around and went via Richmond which worked out well. Just out of interest, what was the cause? Was there an accident or roadworks? The traffic coming towards us (away from HC) was also extremely intermittent so it looked as if there was a definite blockage rather than just sheer volume, esp as coming from Richmond there was v little traffic going the same way as us even when right at HC. This was my first Saturday visit, always been on a Sunday before, the plants were a lot more expensive :-( I suppose I was spoiled by all the 1/2 price offers on my previous visits :-) Also, can anyone recommend a source of small folding chairs or shooting sticks, or similar, for next time? Chairs were in v short supply at eating times (for sitting on, not eating :-). Didnt see any on sale at HC though probably there were? Resisted the urge to buy a clematis and have it die within a few months this time. Seems new clematis just wont take in my garden wherever planted. -- Tumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com |

It wasn't very convincing, but at least it didn't fold.... -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

An elderly friend of mine has one (fishing, I think) which is somehow part of a backpack, which is how she carries it around. For anyone who can easily get up and down to ground level, I recommend a simple good-quality plastic carrier bag. Waterproof, folds up tiny, can be tucked in the smallest pocket and weighs nothing. And at the end of the day you can carry plants in it :~} Janet. |
Also, can anyone recommend a source of small folding chairs or shooting sticks, or similar, for next time? Chairs were in v short supply at eating times (for sitting on, not eating :-). Didnt see any on sale at HC though probably there were? Very poor consideration of the stall holders. I have just had a stand at the International Festival of the Sea at Portsmouth. The third I have done. I ALWAYS take four folding camping chairs with me and have them available to the public. (3 urglers made their acquaintance and used them :-)) and I know that other stand holders do the same. Is it something to do with the 'Caring Naval fraternity' which is missing in the gardening fraternity? (Reinforces the aggression and the net nannying in this newsgroup) Mike |

Nope. The *is ending is third declension (I don't know of any other declension which has an *is nominative singular ending in it. as in as in: singular: arbor navis arborem navis arboris navem (sometimes -im) arbori navis arbore navi nave (sometimes -i) plural: arbores arbores arborum arboribus arboribus as in: Singular nom. navis naves voc. navis naves acc. navem (sometimes -im) naves (sometimes -is) gen. navis navium dat. navi navibus abl. nave (sometimes -i) navibus Please note: a navibus is generally dark blue and sings rude songs as it progresses. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

e.demonmapson.co.uk writes Surely if the ending in singular is -is then the plural is -um? as in singular: arbor arborem arboris arbori arbore plural: arbores arbores arborum arboribus arboribus :-) Wrong example! You need something where the nominative ends in 'is' not the genitive ;-) eg civis pl cives .... which doesn't help your case ;-) -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |
