Here's a programme I haven't seen in many years. But, I wanted to watch the following programme, "Lost Land of the Jaguar" Yes, I know it's not about XK's.

Although not a gardener, I can usually enjoy a gardening programme, providing the presenters are enthusiastic enough and convey their passion to the viewer.

I started out being fairly impressed with the advice on growing tomatoes! Yes, why not.

Strangely enough, I was beginning to have a quite warm feeling to the way that the subject was presented. THEN:

Cut to someones rural "Twee" garden, with a wee stream, about 18" wide, 6" deep. Presenters ask resident Muppet what he wishes to create.

Muppet answer : SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT.


Well, fk me. Didn't see an Oil Rig or a Motorway junction on his land.

Obviously one of our famous white settlers teaaching us cheuchters how to live our lives.furiousfurious

Well I keep hearing his name being mentioned to replace me. Be sure to give him the full windup treatment. Half dozen jobs a trip is average here, no time for safety naps!! Tell him I pinched that other slot he was after as well ;-)
