Never recommend your gardener.

[StugeronSteve]

I recommend gardener to a friend who is in need of a major re-style and guess what? The b****r doesn't show his face in my garden for over six weeks, gratitude eh!

Anyway here's the boaty bit; swmbo away with kids, great chance for some golf/pub, but no, gardens a mess and summer hols/cruise is coming up. If swmbo comes home and sees garden looking like tip she might suggest that we delay hols a day or two to sort it out. Hedge last night (made sure that I cut cable on clippers at end of job), lawn tonight (b****y Honda starts first time again). Oh well, back to the grind. At least I can dream of the superb August that Bill Giles is promising, a steady 3-4 breeze will be nice as well.

If you want to get away sailing keep your gardener, decorator and any other b****r that does all of your work to yourself!

Don't you know that all the scruffiest gardens in the neighbourhood are owned by yachtsmen?

Who says?

Eventually* Bavaria replaced all the Rutgersons with Gebos. Since then nere a drop has come through. Many other owners also complained and got replacements. It was a failed technology known to most users of Sikkaflex in that you can't get it to adhere to three faces at right angles in a flexing application for very long, only two so it pulls away from one and then in comes the water.

*after nearly a year of gaffer tape. The following LIBS there was a guy selling a whole pile of second hand Rutgersons who's flanges were smeared with sealant, in the upper gallery at VERY cheap prices. I wonder where he got them from?
