Full and Comprehensive Use of T'Interweb

The National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners

This is a lovely site which is hardly embracing the full resources and connectivity of the t'interweb.

Now imagine trying to get an allotment. You're mystified as to how get one. And you probably are as it's the latest thing that the middle classes have taken to their capacious and ravenous bosom. Here in London you can't move for lovely middle class people blagging, stealing or bribing their way to allotments. It's a dirty world on the allotments, it's difficult to keep your fingers clean out there. You think I'll check out the National Society blah blah to see what they say. Call it up, ooh there's a special section I can click on to find out how to get an allotment. Click! And what do you get? The options are for the question,

"Where is my nearest allotment and who do I contact?"

The options are

contact your local authority, no clicky postcode connecting thing here

or speak to someone on the local allotments, OK!

and finally the only clicky things on it is a link to the office of the deputy prime minister, a scarey idea but at least you can imagine him in his potting shed, shagging the allotment secretary after punching someone for impugning his leeks. Shall I press it? It's changed and I'm being redirected but finally a site with a little more info.

Try the site or maybe not....site
