To return to our esteemed sound engineer and his suggestion that people should go elsewhere if they don't like what is on offer, this reminded me of the Britain in Bloomers in Sidmouth who tried to tell me which types of plants I should grow in my own garden - and that if I didn't like their views I should leave town - they even wrote a letter to the newspaper to say I should leave!!

Didn't do them much good though - it just got Britain in Bloom more unwelcome publicity than it had ever had before, except perhaps from Sir Roy Strong.
