      They served the food from that hut in the picture.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        We're now members of Sanders Garden World Gardening Club and are looking forward to our invites to the opening night of their Christmas display.

        Mince pies and mulled wine all round!

          Well don't overdo it. We wouldn't want to hear about you and your "crew" getting banged up for over-excessive shenanigans at Leigh Delamere Services, or somewhere equally bohemian!!

            If garden centre gastronomy is your thing the food at Banwell Garden centre is also excellent as is Roundtrees in Yatton (Just passed Cadbury garden centre which is good for tea & cakes but expensive).

            For the record I don't exclusively eat at garden centres but we do make a point of having lunch if we visit.

              How do you 'go down to the sea in ships'? They must make a terrible racket scraping along the road.

                  Smart. If you are ever in the area, give Whitehall Garden Centre at Lacock a go. Make sure you try their pineapple upside down cake.

                  Dobbies at Sheraton Mallet is also very good.

                      Agreed, and anyone who thinks a taxpayer funded NHS run by civil servants is expensive should take look at the Dutch system which is run by insurance people; it's expensive, bureaucratic and going downhill.
