The UK Growers Thread!

The other day a pipe exploded inside the house so I called a plumber at random (Googled plumbers in the area). The bloke who turned up was one stage beyond mashed (you know, that stage when you can't stop laughing at a crack in the wall). He kept running to his van to get a wrench and returning 15 minutes later empty-handed, staring blankly at the flooded floor, then whacking his forehead and saying "Left my wrench in the van!"

After this happened the ninth time, I winked and said "herbal amnesia, mate."

He suddenly seemed to realize I was an "outsider" (i.e. not a local inbred, married to his third cousin and distantly related to his mum).

"I'll need to check in daylight," he snapped, backing away.

"So I can expect you next July, then?" I joked (it was pretty much dark at 2 pm that day).

"I'll call you," he muttered... and vanished.

Oddly enough, the next plumber I found was high too. Maybe this is how the locals survive the winter?

You're so sweet, you can have my baby's arm for free :) But actually my brilliant cyber-sleuthing yesterday took me to this website pretty early on, and the closest city to mine (mine is not featured in their directory, bizarrely - despite all the stoned plumbers) is only about half an hour's drive away... But I tried visualizing the next step after I read the instructions... And no matter how many different scenarios I tested in my mind, basically they all ground to an awkward halt as soon as "the lads" on "XYZ Drive" clocked the fact that I was female, well-spoken, fairly neat, healthy and respectable-looking, and had a small child growling and barking at them from between my knees.

Life is too easy, who needs parenting skills when you can have legislation instead :)

Me again. Majority of bolshiness expired, defeated, evaporated. *hanging head* I'm sure it's all making me a nicer person in the long run, all this humiliation and failure. But it sucks in the short run :(

So I tried my luck again. I actually went to the local grower, who turned out to be a rather confused bloke wondering why people kept approaching him about herbs. Turns out he'd been impersonated by somebody who didn't like him (or wanted a respectable front for their farm). Or, well, that was his story anyway. Even worse, I was so uncool and flustered that I ended up telling him my real name (and when it's something like Hoggleswart Sodthisforalark, it's pretty unforgettable).

So, ok, any of you happy puffers out there feeling a little trigger-happy? Because I've given up on looking for a herbalist and now I just need somebody to shoot me :(
