Indeed, Mat and Terry,
At least the BBC also knows where the North West is! And the Shetlands (well, sort of) ....

To quote the wonderful Milligan character Eccles, "You sure of that?" Voice might not survive the transcription.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

An excellent well attended event from what I saw this morning.
Well done to the organisers.

Some of the BBC weather people think Shetland is not in UK. They often Quote range of temps, say 9C-15C. The map behind them shows Shetland as 6C. I would have thought it was as easy to say 6 as it is to say 9.
