I did not think Lord Hesaltine's snowdrops were particularly well-situated.  Most were in open beds on flat ground so it was not obvious that the soil was sufficiently well-drained nor that they got enough summer shade for the varieties that prefer woodland.  On the other hand, there were many steep banks where snowdrops had not been planted.  Offer to take better care of his snowdrops and hopefully he will snatch you up, Emma.

I daresay you could David but if you think I'm going to call you "Sir," think again. Think yourself darned lucky to get "Hey, You!"

I guess one question to ask yourself is would the job enhance your CV.  That is, if you took the job then applied for another job a few years down the road, would the experience you will gain from the job you are considering now give you access to more or better jobs in future.

That's good news and aptly demonstrates how wrong the people you originally applied to were to not offer you their job.
