[Diane Clement]

Look at the naughty look on Diane's face... what's she up to?     

I think it was someone BEHIND me that was up to something naughty

Well you can be sure it was not me!!
Diane can you PM me with the make/model of the projector your group used on Saturday.  I have been asked to advise local Plant Heritage on a purchase and my knowledge is out of date!  Your projector seemed right up-to- date ... and excellent!

[Ragged Robin]

Looks like a lot of fun was had and the event was a great meeting of Forumists - makes us 'foreigners'  wish we were closer to enjoy AGS and  SRGC talks and learn from the experts

I agree Diane, Luc S looks quite suspicious ..

[LucS]

Had my hands behind my back !
Must be something in  the air.

[ranunculus]

Well, that only leaves Tony Willis and he used to be a bank manager ... and they are always good at fiddles!

 I felt this was a matter which deserved some more investigation.....Let's examine the clues....

Diane is looking to her right with an expression that I thought at first to be shifty   but which I now recognise as shocked and she has her right hand behind her....   ....the BD is  behind her on her right.... but the BD's hands are in plain sight..
.....Luc S (behind Diane to her left) is looking to the right as well (and yes, LucG, he does  look quite suspicious)... ..  but his eyeline seems higher than Diane.....is he looking at Tony W. perhaps; he's tall?
but no, Luc S' gaze seems to go past Tony.... which brings us back to the BD..... but his hands were both visible, he couldn't be up to mischief, surely? Let's look closer.... ah yes, look at his body language: bolt upright stance, fixed expression, eyes front.......
......we have all the evidence we need :  the BD has undoubtedly just pinched Diane's bottom!

[tonyg]

That's a rotten slur on the character of such a fine upstanding individual.  I think the incident may have involved two fingers but taken place a lot higher up

Of course Diane would have known nothing about it ... except from the eyes of the photographer.   I am sure she will be able to photoshop the missing details onto the pic later on.

[Maggi Young]

With a bunch of reprobates such as those surrounding the fair Mrs Clement, who knows what other mischief may have been going on.....and I would hate to  condemn an innocent man..... I had considered phoning Lesley Willis to see what she may have seen of these incidents, or taking advice from Bob Wallis, who took the photo but I took more instant direct action...... I cornered the BD and tickled him till he confessed.......wee hooligan that he is!

[tonyg]

He is a quick mover .... all I saw were the bunny ears to spoil a good photo!  Innoncence is not always bliss though .... and did he really buy you a garden shredder for your birthday?

[Maggi Young]

He 's always been fast on his feet!
Yes, perfectly true about the shredder; he came home from Chelsea one year and said he'd found the perfect gift for me.....and in August (a smidgeon early for my actual birthday but in good time for the hedge cutting) my shiny red shredder arrived.

The BD, bless him, has always felt that I should want for nothing ( at least in the work department) and to that end he bought me..... ( when we had lawns in the garden) a very nice petrol-driven mower.................
...........................I have my own electric cement mixer, so as not to strain myself mixing cement or potting compost....................
........ a cordless hedge trimmer because he feels the big electric one is too heavy for me.... yes, I'm well equipped.


.......the leaf blower/ vacuum isn't mine.... my Mother bought the first one of those for Ian  and it has remained "his" ever since.
