The Dogmother Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ridiculous! Mind you, there are some pillocks out there - Yesterday, I had to go and have a word with our gardener at work - after watching him fill up his petrol hedge trimmer while a fag was hanging out of his mouth!

Lesley Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I wonder if they could have collective insurance? - as a group? ... perhaps I shouldn't step outside my back door this morning? all those hazards in the veggie plot.... and all the killer sheep and pigs, not to mention hens......

Charlottechicken Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 There are some interesting comments at the bottom of the piece, I think the council may have been found out. The insurance is still expensive though, I wonder what risks the insurance company came up with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 I reckon it is a cynical ploy by the council to get folk off prime building land by making allotments unaffordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
