Allotment

[Bob Buzzard]

I went to get an allotment and was told there is a long waiting list :(

However my friend at The Castle said its possible to pay a ?250 advance on the allotment fees to be priortised on the list. I then mentioned this inducement to the membership secretary, but he didn't seem to know what I was talking about, so now I'm still at the bottom of the list - most frustrating.

Try ?500 Bob. The 'fee' may have gone up.

If you are actually serious, Grove allotments next to Camber Tennis Club near the entrance to the woods have a relatively short waiting list.

[Alan Medic]

You think he is?

Great, where is Camber Tennis Club? Is it in ED?

Not about the bribe, but maybe about the allotment.

Benefit of the doubt and all that :))

Do you need any help Bob. I know a builder who has a slow winter ahead and jobs as a gardener come allotment furrower. Asking for a friend...

We're talking about a fee Sue, not a bribe. Where did you get that idea from? No wonder you get your gardening and cookbooks mixed up. Who cooks books?

Hey Bob

Looking in Sues gardening book, if you dig a perfect trench 6 feet deep, 7 feet long and 3 feet wide then you can plant and grow your own BuilderausShagaMisses which should grow a tall stiff plant that your misses can utilise whilst you spend solitary evenings dibbing in your potting shed 😎

I have some exotic crops that I need somewhere discreet to cultivate. If I could intersperse them among your prize marrows or whatnot, I could probably help out with the facilitation fee?

God I'm so gullible

There was a furore in the news last week about the inclusion of Essex Girl in the Oxford Dictionary and the removal of gullible...

Lupins ! with apologies to monty python, grow amongst lupins, with a generator and heat lamps,

totally organic, then sell 'lupins' at the farmers market - preferably in DV, what larks !

Sue be careful you could be an accessory to these shenanigans

I have some lovely allotments available... please send a cheque for ?250 to PO Box 123.....
