Now I moved north I thought I'll be closer to the "north west cactus mart"... Keep dreaming Mat
Shouldn't this be called "a third way north cactus mart" instead? Unless it's the Londoners' "north of Camden" definition of north.
And a wee bit of (hopefully more) constructive criticism, the poster could be a little bit cleaner, perhaps there is a society provided design? If not, it's worth thinking about one.

Time to move the BCSS to the 21st century and "recent" geopolitical changes then!
(It's all a joke really, just getting some traffic to the thread as it's happening this weekend.)

Some north of the border might not appreciate being regarded as NW of anywhere else Mat!

I had really hoped to go, then travel on to the TSG meeting next day, but am reliant on public transport and have decided not to battle with the currently unreliable trains. Not that I have much space for more plants anyway

Shetlands deserve their own overseas society!
I will send you an email, hope you don't mind.
