Called to account

Despite Wodger's soothing words I decided to make a thorough investigation into this business of the overdue accounts for SouthWest One. As a straight talking sort of guy, I went straight to the top. The Chairman is a very nice man indeed and he put me right about it all in a few moments. Then we had a fascinating conversation on matters much closer to my heart. Mr Titchmarsh, it seems, is a keen horticulturalist who likes nothing better than plunging both hands deep into a sack of peat and looking out for those elusive green shoots of recovery. He sent me a signed copy of his memoirs. Come to think of it Eunice is never happier than when she's on her knees, dibber in hand, giving the weeds a good seeing-to.
