Don't think we do. But, now that Monty Don's been mentioned, Bugs should be along to be rude about him if that helps.

I think her venom is likely to be a good stand in.

Maybe we should be a bit worried then - here's some before and after shots for Almeria in Southern Spain, near Motril. Beautiul coastline, completely covered for miles and miles and miles in white plastic greenhouses. The picture only shows a tiny part of it.

If they can't use the land for agricultural purposes, they can go out of work, and destroy what's left of the local economy, and they can sell the land for housing and branches of Curry's.

See that's why you should buy Spainish Strawberries, we don't want tossers over here ruining our countryside.
Keep Britain Tidy - Leave all your crap in France!

Our greengrocer had two punnets of English strawberries for �1 on Saturday. They were OK, but not quite there yet - and nothing like warm, home-grown ones straight from the garden!
The strawberries on my patio seem to have ground to a halt. Through april they were storming ahead with growth and a few flowers, but now we're in May nothing seems to be happening - a reasonable number of flowers but they've gone back to being dormant.

My alpines are pruducing fruit but they seem to have slowed alot too. Might be the sudden drop in temperature gale force winds and heavy rain non stop.........
spotted strawberries in the farm shop today - they were their own. I think they do have a couple of polytunnels, but they do a huge market in PYO so I don't think the Oxfordshire countryside will be decimated by polytunnels.
We ate the first from our own polytunnel last week. The outdoor ones have taken a heavy battering from rain, hail, frost & wind over the last week though.
