the fact he didn't even ask me was what made me see red, then to put me on the spot by saying she'll get you a double room ready now. Like I was the bloody servant or sommat Evil or Very Mad

Now the chuffing gas boiler is leaking water out the front. I rang the gas board and listened to all their 7 options, none of which allowed me an option for reporting a fault Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad I was on the phone for 10 minutes. I just pressed 0 in the end and someone was more interested int trying to sell me stuff than repair my boiler Evil or Very Mad


Very ggggggggggggggrrrryyy today.

No sets from here (I don't think) but they do list Echalion seeds under at the bottom right of the 2nd page I think it is (under torpedo shallots) ( I think....I've forgotten between looking and writing this Rolling Eyes )

To answer Sunny's question banana shallots are grown by Barringtons (see thier website)

elongated shallots are very common though Sunny and easy to get hold of. I reckon Echalion sounds like scallion and that's a welsh onion. The plot thickens.

I just got my elongated shallots today, Jermor, and they look the biz Very Happy

Senshyu onions - have now tried from autumn sown seed and from sets and disappointed with consistency.

Suggest you grow other varieties!
