Louisa Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 It brings me to tears thinking of those innocent little daffs, and they have been brought to life by your grade A poetry. It is almost like watching Alice In Wonderland talk to the flowers. Louisa.

Ladymuck Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Louisa, I totally agree with you - I was incensed when I saw the same thing happening. Were the park wardens able to do anything about it?

ruffers Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 ffs - someone goes to park and picks a few daffs which their council tax has probably paid for. Possibly a bit selfish to deny others the pleasure of the daffs but how much agitation is this worth.....?Perspective.....?

I suppose that's how you become affluent in the first place - there's a fine line between thrift and theft!

boosboss Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 How long do Daf bulbs last? Are these the same dafs that Southwark Council planted in 2004? 250,000 of them, 1 for each resident apparently.

Louisa Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have daffs in my garden which have come up every year for at least 15 so I presume they hang around for quite a while if they arnt constantly disturbed.

Keef Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Can't be bothered reading the whole thread, but basically I am with Louisa's original point.Oh, and Louisa, keep up the good work, as despite himself, I just don't think Sean can help himself but get wound up by you, and it is a constant source of entertainment to me (much as I luv ya Seany).

180176 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 erm, i'm a mum, and i have a 3 wheeled pram, and yet i think it's wrong for people to pick daffs, wouldn't do it myself or let my children do it. so how does this fit with the fairly awful generalising going on on this thread? or should i simply not rise to the bait??

annaj Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 180176, click on Louisa's name in blue and read a few of her old posts before you decide if you should rise to it or not. I'd generally say no, you won't get anywhere, but it's very tempting and we all give in sometimes.

bigbadwolf Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Oh Louisa's not that bad really. A bit mad but she certainly gives us something to laugh about when it's a quiet day on the forum.

Tony.London Suburbs Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 There's a natural Beauty about a Host Of Golden Daffodils, a carpet of Bluebells or a plexegon of Primroses.Please leave them all alone for everyone to enjoy.Its unimaginable, for example, that someone would dig up wild Primroses, which would probably die in the travelling anyway.

Louisa Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 I dont think I said every single bugaboo owning yummy was responsible for the cutting of these daffs, but out of all the people I have seen doing it, they are all ladies and gents of a certain persuasion in my opinion.

bigbadwolf Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Do they follow the wild west trend of 'wanted dead or alive' or are they more like 'Our cats gone missing'.

Louisa Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ted I have not yet but I have them made and will display them at some point this weekend, preferably when lots of men and women are off work walking around the parks with their kids. I plan on displaying some at Dulwich and Belair parks too (slightly off territory but does no harm).Louisa.

Louisa Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 bbw, they will probably be a cross between the dead or alive style but may contain a few downloaded friendly daff pictures just to warn people off.Louisa.

Ted Max Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Poor effort, Lou. "I have them made"then..."they will probably be a cross between the dead or alive style but may contain a few..."You've made them but you don't know what they might look like? I think you're fighting on too many fronts, here and your work's getting sloppy.
