Unfortunately, whether it is an "inferiority complex" or not - and I don't make any judgement one way or another about that - it is one (or whatever it is) with a great deal of powerful social control behind it, which makes all sorts of judgements, often inaccurate assumptions (which it then fails to see, let alone correct) and discriminates against - well I see it discriminates against the truth in some [edit, yea, a lot of] circumstances [and in some circumstances often encourages and or rewards lying]. People generally are very slow to judge themselves and will not admit to their failings however true they are. At the same time they make all sorts of judgements about others - the way they look, they way they speak, even the words they use, and take first impressions more severely - they also find boring and uninteresting any attempt to explain fully from which, had they had the ounce of attention, would have been able to understand.

Aren't I now making a judgement about others myself? (Albeit the difference is my judgement is arguably more the truth than the one that I am ascribing to others.) Anyway... move on..

Unfortunately the use of "sic" is often construed (mis-construed?) as being disparaging by highlighting others' errors. In fact my use just then was completely incorrect, as "sic" is used after a faithful reproduction of a text - it should have been a capital O and without the square brackets around it. I had edited it myself to a lower-case o and then also used "sic" to suggest I was quoting accurately when in fact I was doing anything but.

It's a never ending argument savvy have you found your lists? Are these paper lists that you make on your visits to Morries? I hope you find them

Well if it was a big one, then yes, the damp spot is feelable.

This was a 'bush rather than a tree lol.
I used straws for the stem and stuck them into a large piece of dry oasis which was rammed tight into the pot
Left a gap at the bottom of the bush and put double sided tape on the inside edge of the pot and then sat the bush on the straws and tape.
Not bad for a first attempt
