Why does Monty Don get on your wick,maris. I like him.I know no one can ever fill Geoff Hamilton's shoes,but I think Monty is one of the best TV gardeners out there.

Ooh - no questioning his skill and I was glad when he made a recovery - its just something about his voice and he's a bit too...well, benign is the word that comes to mind. Nigel has nothing to do with it. |

I don't mind Monty Don, my wife goes mad If she sees Alan Titchmarch on the tv. She just can't stand him for some reason.
Mind you, I go mad when I see Nick Knowles on tv and could easily smash the screen.

^^^ I saw him in Amen Corner in 1968, along with Gene Pitney and Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. Saw, but did not hear: bloody teenage girls. Anyway: Stephen Simpson Hillage (born 2 August 1951) is an English musician, best known as a guitarist.He is associated with the Canterbury scene and has worked in experimental domains since the late 1960s. Besides his solo recordings he has been a member of Gong, Khan and System 7. With Daevid Allen and Miquette Giraudy in Japan, 2013 (Hillage is on the left):  And playing The Salmon Song in 1977: |

 Still one of my favourite lps, 40+ years after I got it for 59p (as a Virgin promotion): (This might be where my love for repetition comes from)

I got stuck into playing that for a while then.
This is from the last track/medley. It's a bit more commercial than the first song.
