It's so's News International/Corps get the inside skinny on the corpse before their rivals.


Ladies & Gentlemen my names HonaloochieBenElton, I'm here, all weak.

I find EDF very interesting at times reading other peoples points of few from all walks of life and experiences. There are times when others want to dominate the forum with there long winded opinions and intellect and others are just laid back about the whole thing in general.
I find myself wondering what percentage of the folk I see in Lordship Lane on any average day or evening, actually members of EDF, and then if any of them are the regular posters. I wonder why some write as a character, and what they think the point of that is.

Pretty much the same. I deactivated, and created otta for sing the family room, which can be very useful.


I was weak though.


I did last longer than Sean before being outed though :)

It's interesting how the forum can assume more importance than it does I guess.


Even when talking to my next door neighbours, it comes up in conversation. It's rare I find someone that does not refer to it for something or use it in some way.


Moreover, what I think is amusing is when I meet someone new, and find out who they are on the forum.... then pray I have not offeneded them in any way in the past!

    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private private, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own).
    • Good question. I think the benefit of some wild flowers is that they appear earlier in the spring and provide nectar for insects coming out of hibernation. Also, natives have evolved with the insects, some of which can only survive with certain native plants. For example, some species of  caterpillars need a specific native plant for their food. Having said that, I've seen lots of pollinators having a field day on some non native flowers. My bees love my verbena bonariensis for example.
    • Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.
