- 17 March 2011 19:1997336Am i the only one that is getting fed up with being targeted by ladies in town begging me to buy lucky heather? i brought one once and they expected me to give them ten or twenty pounds for it , im sure they dont have a license to do this but im getting a bit fed up of trying to aviod them now , i feel sorry for the elderly ladies i see them pestering and how much they are handing over to them.
- 17 March 2011 19:2797342not seen one since i moved here mel, neither have i come across one in east kent.
i hope you are not confusing the lady with our susan. - 17 March 2011 19:3197347Not seen this around here for years! Sad to hear people handing over money - they must feel intimidated into doing this.
Top tip: Buy a pack of wooden clothes-pegs and carry it around town. If a 'lucky' heather humanoid approaches you say "no thanks", but offer to do a swap with some 'lucky' pegs. They will soon leave you alone. - 17 March 2011 19:3297348go one better and offer to tarmac their drive badly.
- 17 March 2011 19:4597350Lol yes Howard they are in full force lately top of pencester , i wouldnt mind if they were good luck and could give me the lottery numbers but nope my mum thinks she losing out as she has a huge bush of this heather stuff in her garden lol and yes i suppose i could offer a swop i would keep the pegs and give her Mark
- 17 March 2011 19:4797351Poor susan i think shes a great lady and totally enjoy our chats when we meet. If i was you howard i would grab my passport

Just tell them "Thank you, I have plenty in my garden". And smile sweetly !!!
