Re: Plot Rents

We come under Reigate & Banstead, Surrey - when we first took on a full plot in 2004 it was £28.00, half that for a half plot, and 50% discount for anyone 60 and above whatever size plot they take. This increased by £1.00 each year until 2011, so % increase was falling each year beginning with 3...

Then when they go back into cold water the water finds it's way between the surface of the egg and the inside of the membra...
