You could argue (at a pinch) that a little lawn mowing/hedge trimming would fall under general maintenance costs of a property but expensive plants, walls, gardening equipment etc are surely excessive. <br /><br />Would we have seen such high claims for gardening but for the fact MPs could flip homes? We have clearly been paying for the maintenance (and nurturing) of family gardens rather than those of London pied-a-terres – as should have been the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-13876702677555319902009-10-14T17:01:39.100+01:002009-10-14T17:01:39.100+01:00Here’s some light refreshment … and some self-prom...Here’s some light refreshment … and some self-promotion (not that I know anything about that) ... but one day I will be back in Wales ‘pushing tin’, but next time not on a bread production line in Allied Bakeries on Maesycoed Road, Cardiff. <br /><br />Brief Background: Prof. Dylan Jones-Evans happened to mention (on Glyn's website) a spoof web site a few days ago ... so I took a look at it and found my ‘home from home’ … a medium that seems so natural to me ... joined up and went from “Nowhere Man” to "Top Writer" (currently 28th position “Top Writer”) in less time that it takes to fry a maggot. <br /><br />Also, apparently I'm very silly - so very very silly. <br /><br />http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s1i61302<br /><br />http://www.thespoof.com/forum/messages.cfm?fID=55&tID=189526<br /><br />An accolade this writer is happy to accept. <br /><br />I’m so very happy to receive the ‘silly accolade’ for being so very very silly that I had to share it with you Glyn. <br /><br />"It all started on Glyn's blog", said Tcoah to a bunch of New York cops.Tcoahnoreply@blogger.com
