Dear Maridell, thank you for your comments. Beer & Gardening do work, but in my case they can also be a hindrance! For everyone knows who I am, so to get a bit of peace & quiet is nigh on impossible!
You just have to get a pint and sit down and they start wanting to know what to do with a plant they have. Then try to describe it as "green with yellow bits on it!"
Someone trying to describe a plant when they have had a few pints can be a pain. So I tell them to bring a bit in; that could be anything from a leaf to half a shrub they have cut down to show me, or a sketch of something. Sometimes it can be amusing when there treasured plant is a common weed!
Regards.
Neil.
