    Reportedly it's his wife that has actually run the shop for the last 10 years whilst he was in the US trying to cash in? And I would rather send what Burrell claims are 'cheap' forecourt flowers than expensive ones with his name on them.

    Unbelievable. That he still can drop the D-word into every conversation even after all these years.

    And shame on you MSE for allowing him to promote his own business this way.

    Can tell there has been a change of ownership around here - what a joke, this "guest comment" should be deleted

    Maybe some good advice in there somewhere?

    I have used www.bunches.co.uk and www.flyingflowers.co.uk probably 3 or 4 times each year for the last 15 or more years.

    Never had a complaint and the blooms last about 3 weeks before they have to be put out......

    I can recommend these two firms also. I've used them for the last 10 years. Only complaint in that time was when the FF plane was grounded by fog - they sent another bunch even though it was hardly their fault.

    My only experience with Serenata was the absolute opposite - dreadful.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
