| Thanks for that Tahir. I agree; youngsters are educated to work on computers and in offices these days, and don't even thing about other work. I know a lot of people tend to look down on us working in ... |

I wouldn't bother. Admittedly I never get the best results, but if I did that they would be growing in rock chalk.  |

I hope the consignment is large enough to make that worth while Tahir. It is going to increase all costs in the UK I fear.
