Bugsy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 [quote user="Clair"]I don't understand. What is so objectionable about daisies? [8-)][/quote]It's a very english trend that 'one' must have the perfect lawn. It makes the cucumber sandwiches (crusts removed ) taste better when 'one' has finished the croquet.[Www][:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassis Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 [quote user="Bugbear"] [IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p211/Bugbear2/IMG_0351.jpg[/IMG][/quote]Your cat's made an awful mess of your lawn, bugsy. You'd be better off with the moles.If all else fails with the daisies, try rolling a cricket ball alongthe ground. NB If you don't follow cricket you may not understand this method.Talking of nations of shopkeepers, as a lad I had an apprenticeship in a butcher's shop - 'twas ever my dream to open a butcher's shop of my own one day. But the butcher started eyeing me up in a strange sort of way and once even tried to wrap me in some greaseproof paper and put me in a bag. I've no idea what he was up to but I wasn't best pleased and I was out of there like a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postie Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 All I can say is "you're lucky to have a lawn at all". Some only have a plowed field & are hoping to have lawn one day - with or without dairysMrs Postie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 This subject is as daft as a friend who was worried about dadelions and spent time digging them up--my wife said do you realize ypu are surronded by fields full of them which will shortly send their dadelion heads and seeds across your land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!people who cannot accept the land as it is should buy a flat and have a window box!! That is my !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:P][6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracteurtom Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yes its very sad what people - townies mostly - do with land. Taking the land out of the farming community just because they have the wealth to do so, then do nothing with it. Keeping a pony for the kids !! At least in France there is SAFER that gives the local farmers the option to buy first, but its - as always - down to money.You might want to check the hypen in "up-my wife" !!!!!!!!!!! Whats daisys doing there ? [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
