[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 179844, member: 136"]Aww, AF - you make me want to plan another visit - sooner, rather than later! (I would, however, love to visit that shed!) Actually, this past summer, the last time I was in London, a friend who lives there pretty much [I]demanded[/I] that I pay a visit to his "allotment". After hiking uphill for what seemed like ages (but was probably only 15 or 20 minutes) we arrived at what turned out to be a [I]teeny, tiny[/I] little vegetable garden... "Oh... so this is [B][I]IT[/I][/B]?" I wondered... It was about [SIZE=3]1/8[/SIZE]th the size of the[I] smallest[/I] vegetable garden I've ever had, but my friend was just SO proud of it! "Do you have [B][U]any idea[/U][/B] how long the waiting list is for an allotment here?" he asked. I got the feeling that the cachet of having an allotment there was worth way more to him than ANY vegetables he might have grown.[/QUOTE]
