So when you were so shocked earlier on in the thread you hadn't actually seen the programme?

No, I was shocked at what people were saying....is that an issue?

Not an issue just interested to discover how easily people get worried about things without examining the facts first. Still as you have now discovered the programme was nothing like the true picture of millions of allotenteers.

The young guy in Manchester has a cheek. Yes, the committee are a nightmare if you're not one of their group, but when you claim to want an allotment to grow food to feed your family and all you end up doing is growing pumpkins then you have to accept that you'll get people's backs up. Especially when every other word is a swear word. And that's coming straight from the mouth of someone who left the site due to the committee's behaviour! Not me, btw. I haven't the time nor patience to deal with allotment politics.

Doesnt seem to be in Iplayer now. Getting it by other means. Must watch this.

Although there is a lot behind your back chatter. Have you seen the way he does that.. Totally wrong etc... Or moanaing about someone overrun with weeds or planting something that releases a ton of seeds.

Everyone is rather nice to chat to. Just keep out of the politics.
