Now I moved north I thought I'll be closer to the "north west cactus mart"... Keep dreaming Mat

Shouldn't this be called "a third way north cactus mart" instead? Unless it's the Londoners' "north of Camden" definition of north.

And a wee bit of (hopefully more) constructive criticism, the poster could be a little bit cleaner, perhaps there is a society provided design? If not, it's worth thinking about one.

NW = Northwest ENGLAND not UK from days when pre Jacobean times that was the case
Pedantic Geography, History and Politics finished

Time to move the BCSS to the 21st century and "recent" geopolitical changes then!

(It's all a joke really, just getting some traffic to the thread as it's happening this weekend.)

Some north of the border might not appreciate being regarded as NW of anywhere else Mat!

Your bump sentiment appreciated ... there will be a record number of sales tables. Was with the organiser this past weekend.

I had really hoped to go, then travel on to the TSG meeting next day, but am reliant on public transport and have decided not to battle with the currently unreliable trains. Not that I have much space for more plants anyway

Thanks Mat, I've been on about this for a few decades Where is Shetland, though? You can't miss out the top of the country!

Shetlands deserve their own overseas society!

I will send you an email, hope you don't mind.

" overseas " ............

Don't the Shetlanders see themselves in that mode anyway?
