GQT

So do we have any other fans of the Radio 4 show?

If so do we have any favourite panelist?

So today a bit of surprise for Beth Coredon and a extended feature on grow lights.

 

Also any International listeners?

 

I enjoy listening when I remember but that is not very often.

 

We used to but became jaded as far too often hearing the same questions being asked. Every now and then there would be some very interesting topics and comments.

 

If I could select the panellists I would listen more often .

 

Is that still going, must be 30yrs since I last heard it.
Is Geoffrey Smith still on it, always sounded like Brian Clough.

 

I only listen occasionally, but my sister is a regular listener.
Interestingly I heard it last week and there was a question on growing watercress. The panel only talked about needing running water that still water was unsafe from contamination etc. No-one mentioned that you can grow it perfectly well in a pot.
I tried giving that feedback on the BBC site but it said to wait for a confirmatory email but this never came. So I'm not sure if it got through..

 

Haven't listened to GQT recently but whilst producing Watercress in running water is the ideal method, it can definitely be grown and provide a decent harvest in a pot - or even in a garden pond. I've done and eaten both and still alive and kicking . Obviously depends on your site/surroundings but rather like being advised to disinfect everything you touch within your house on a daily ( if not hourly ) basis , gardeners are often advised to do the same.

 

Unfortunately I have to break it to some of the folk on here that Fred Loads has retired!!

I listen to a lot of stuff on the go or whilst doing gardening, this maybe GQT, EPOS (Elaine Paige on Sunday), The News Agents or The Rest is Politics. Always downloaded, great on a speaker in the garden and with headphones on late at night watering or doing a snail hunt.

I think Kathy Clugston is great, as it happens she has no sense of smell.
