How long have the Brits been speaking English? Lots of centuries!
And how long have the yanks been speaking "Americian" ????? A few centuries
Ever since they arrived from the UK and started "taking shortcuts" or going the other extreme and using "elevator" instead of "lift" and "lumber" instead of "wood".
But the one that cracks me up is when talking about "timber" is 2x4 which we call 4x2 - just sounds so "wrong" Just like today is 15th Feb 2008 - small - bigger - biggest which is 15/2/2008 - not 2/12/2008 which is middle - small - big . . just like I live at 24 Kamahi Ave Hawera - which is small - bigger - bigger again - not Kamahi Ave 24 Hawera
At least the Poms and us Kiwi's know how to spell words like "colour", "labour", "aeroplane", etc. And which side of the road to drive on!
Hope I haven't started anything but have always wanted to point out the differences between us, but I wish those Brits changes all the way to the dollar!

Getting to the point though, yes I would really like to knoow where we could obtain these in the UK. I have been into many florists and have never seen anything like them but, also I know these are also known (in America) as tomato cages, so will have to phone a few garden centres up.

Ps: Mick I went into B&Q they are not doing the same deal on the plugs in the UK. What a bummer. Speak to you soon via PM but will be getting Skype very soon.

If YOU LIKE I WILL HAVE A LOOK AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY MORE IN THE STORES OVER HERE AND IF THEY HAVE AND YOU WANT THEM I WILL GET THEM FOR YOU AND SEND THEM OVER TO YOU .
just been having a sticky nose at what was written. we in aussie land do strange things too. ie the things we wear under are pants are undies,. we go up lifts, we put cold things in eskeys, we have bbqs, with snags and more.
try looking at a big garden centre. the frames they are used for growing tomatoes up.
