I think that I may have to bore some Accy Webbers with "tales from my Allotment" or even articles about my coin collecting hobby. Yours, still the Luddite.[

Ok, here goes, I will be going onto my allotment this afternoon just to tidy up and add compost/manure where needed. It has been a good year; over half a hundred weight of three variety's of potatoes,two hundred Onions, ten pounds of Strawberries, fourteen pounds of Blackcurrants, sixty plus Apples,60 plus sticks of Rhubarb, four pounds of "shelled Peas, Three pounds of Green Beans, they are really( French) Beans but I don't like using the word, over two hundred Plum Tomatoes, Thirty Garlic bulbs and just to finish off I still have twenty Brussel Sprout plants to harvest in a couple of months.

I think thats enough to bore all Accy Webbers for a while, Stay safe, Stay happy, Your's, the Luddite.;);)

think the problem is people have been worn down by covid, the dingy divers and afganistan. we can have our opinions, but at the end of the day there seems to be less and less we can do about the situation but moan. we are voices in the wilderness. however our voices seem to be the majority of the population but rearely we can get a look in. you would have thought corbyn had won the last election when this country is more bothered about any minority and smaller the minority the better, than its majority of citezans whose views do not count anymore. this weekend will be interesting as the greenies go on rampage with very little done about it.

Good Lord, I thought your account had been hijacked, the plaintive despair, impotent desperation & a longing for a better time all eloquently paraded for the reader ..... then these final few telling sentences followed



"its majority of citezans whose views do not count anymore.this weekend will be interesting as the greenies go on rampage with very little done about it."



And I realized all is still well in the world & this really still is our very own MH. :D long may it remain so my friend. ;)
 
I also have no interest in football, so when I see the most recent posts are about football my internal monologue says 'Why isn't this website called Accrington Stanley Web?'
 
Ryewolf...maybe it will morph into that one day...it will be when those like you and me and the others who are not football minded, stop coming and posting.
And it will be a sad day for us, but it will be alright for the football fanatics.
 
doubt if it will ever morph into that myself, but what do i know. think myself its sad when some suggest that cos they dont like football.
 
Cashy, it is not that I don’t like football...I just don’t understand it...at all....and I do not have a mind to understand it either.
And please do not feel that I am as you put it ‘sad’ for suggesting that this is just because I do not like football....I am not a fan of any sport.
But I respect those who do like it and do understand it...their enjoyment of it takes nothing away from me....but the people who comment on the football side must have other interests and opinions as well....and it would make for an interesting forum if they occasionally posted onto some other parts of Accyweb.

You could say that I could do the same on the Football part...but....really?
I have nothing at all to contribute because I know only a few things about football....and none of them would stimulate any kind of discussion.

When all there is to read on here is football, then it makes me feel like I am not welcome....and yes...I know that my feelings are not the concern of anyone on here.
Attempts have been made by various people to get some other interesting posts going and they go down like a brick budgie.....and if we do not participate in threads then the forum will disappear...or be devoted to just Stanley....and as laudable as that might be for the Stanley fans,it would be a loss to the rest of us.

Taddy, if I lived near you I would buy my vegetables and fruit from you, you have so much and I am sure they are delicious (though I suspect your nose has grown quite a bit in the telling of your accomplishments as a gardener). I actually found your post very amusing and not boring at all.

Dotti, Every year I weigh all the produce that I grow on my allotment,the name is Taddy not Pinnockio, (Yes I know that is not spelt right), the figures that I quoted are entirely accurate but I will not take offence. I was a fisherman for many years until age caught up with me and I could no longer carry all my fishing gear, the tales I used to tell about the monsters that I removed from rivers and lakes are legendary in my local boozer, yes my nose probably grew an inch or two after three or four pints of real ale but that is part and parcel of being an angler. Stay safe, Keep posting, Taddy.

No, Taddy...that does not bore me....that you have had such a wonderful growing season and been able to ensure that your family has a plentiful supply of a variety of fresh, wholesome homegrown produce....that has added nothing to the air miles that this food stuff usually generates is to be applauded.
When does your fruit and veg stall open on the market?
We only have one stall selling this kind of stuff...it could do with some competition.

Thanks for that Marge, Before I got my allotment in 2017 we owned one freezer as I suppose the majority of families do, please don't think that I am blowing my own Trumpet but after turning what was once an overgrown, weed infested patch of land into a productive fruit and Vegetable garden we had to buy another freezer in 2019 so that Mrs Taddy, (Hazel), could freeze the produce for later use in the making of pies, chutneys, Jams etc.

As always, stay happy, Stay safe, Taddy,

actually at times i wish i did,t like football. for the heatache it caused me when i was young to the thousands of pounds wasted on watching it to get the occasional unforgettable game and moments. my mother and sister were both like you which annoyed my old man. they never realised they were a bit better off than the rest of the street through his efforts on the pitch. if he had been a joiner i doubt they,d have less an interest in his job for that what is was a job.

Taddy you are entitled to blow your own trumpet...because you have worked hard to transform the allotment...but it has also meant that you get the pleasure from not only seeing the fruits of your labour, but knowing that your food is vitamin packed and will go into making your meals not just tasty, but economical too.

I am one of those unfortunate people who cannot grow anything(well, other than old and awkward)...I can kill the most robust of plants....I either drown them or desiccate them.....I am not fit for anything green.

Never mind Cashy..we both have skills in other directions...it is not good for us all to dab hands at the same thing.

Nothing to understand Marge, it's just twenty two over paid Prima Donna's kicking a bag of wind around a field.;);)
