   Thanks for posting this uncle Wilco, I'll watch it tonight. The Manor Gardens business made me very cross. It wouldn't have been beyond the wit of man to incorporate the site into the Olympic stadium thingy, but I don't believe the suits gave it a second's thought. That allotments was a community of decent people who had years and years invested in the site and each other, and you just can't uproot that and transplant it.
