Hi Ya, had a quick visit to plot this morning as it's blowing a hoolie and I wanted to check all is ok. On arrival I noticed my compost bin liners waving in the wind and thought I am sure I left bricks on top to hold it down. I sorted it out checked the water butt lids and shed roof and all seemed ok. I pulled a few carrots and walking back to the car noticed a plot holder near by had put up a new compost bin and on the lid were some bricks. I thought they look familiar, Well 3 years ago a builder friend gave me a cartload of second bricks that no good for building and they had misfired in the making. He showed me and the difference is quite pronounced. I had a look and they are my bricks he must of helped himself during the week. What a cheek. Had he asked I would of helped but to take from me and use them on his is not on. I can tell all the bricks I have got by the way they are cracked. I have had water butts go missing but a quick look around I found them took them back, as I had the lids they had left, and when they got uppity I pointed out that unless they work in a certain area like me they would get them with the markings on them like this. I have had bags of horse manure ready for composting go missing aswell. The cheek of some people. It is annoying. I will help any one but find it quite irksome when some just help themselves as though it's a right. Still it takes all sorts I suppose. I have even come across some one taking nails out of a pallet I'd broken up to build compost bins right in front of me with out asking. I must admit I was gobsmacked. I am recycling he said, but if they need tatty nails like that then have them I would only chuck them away. Perhaps I am to helpful as I have supplied people with all sorts of things from greenhouse glass to shallots, seeds etc. They must see me as a soft touch. Oh well rant over calmed down now so Happy gardening to all.
