My good friend Lauren is featured in this show and I was in to watch it for the first time last night. It basically thrusts 5 twentysomethings into the far east and follows their attempts to survive on the absolute pittance people earn farming rice/processing food/keeping livestock. I found the whole thing a massive eye opener and was absolutely appalled at the conditions these people work/live in and the lengths they have to go to to provide for their families. Has put me off my monthly curry on the Lane for a while!! Did anyone else catch it?


All the episodes are on BBC iPlayer on the interweb...highly recommended viewing!

    • That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
    • Hi sue  so this year I think I fed them a tomato food but only probably three to four times in the summer  don't over water them  I put mine outdoors in about march depending on the weather as long as there's not going to be any frost and bring them back indoors September october-ish or when I think the frost is coming 
    • What do you feed it with? Just a general all purpose feed? Clearly I am doing something wrong with mine! They flower every year, but they don't have anything like that amount of flowers!
