what about wild garlic then? Tricky grey area
For whom? 😆

What you do in the privacy of your own rugby club changing rooms is your business and not ours.

You can't possible pick wild garlic and deprive others the opportunity to smell it. 😆
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you - "Two boys are suspected of accidentally burning down a 14th century castle in Slovakia when smoking." (Sorry, cant work how to do the link thingy, you'll just have to google it). Makes daff picking look a bit insignificant, dont you think? 😀
Just went to the local co op. They had some bunches of Daffodils by the door. I didn't know whether to make a complaint to the manager or run out of the door with the lot and save them.
If you're going to build your castle out of flammable stuff, you run the risk that it will burn. Fortification FAIL.
What's worse, buying farmed flowers from Tescos (= massive environmental damage in developing countries) or picking them here? 😆

Daffs are different, they grow 'em all in Cornwall.
Although the far SW England is a bit underdeveloped...
Bunnyhop has never been the same since she was gased with methane in the dorm of the malham YHA. You don't live in an episode of Last of the Summer Wine, it's not real you know.
In future just stick to moving a bath down a hill with hilarious consequences.
Have u had your tea love?

How on earth is it a grey area?
The law says:
[i]A person who picks mushrooms growing wild on any land, or who picks flowers, fruit or foliage from a plant growing wild on any land, does not (although not in possession of the land) steal what he picks, unless he does it for reward or for sale or other commercial purpose.[/i]
Is wild garlic a flower?
is wild garlic a fruit?
is wild garlic foliage?
is wild garlic a fungi?
If it is, then its not theft, if its not, then it is theft
which is about as grey an area as an Emperor Penguin Colony!
Don Simon - they were both released in 1979 it appears...
I'm way too young to remember that kind of detail.
@ TJ are you really that desperate for an argument?

@Z-11, what if the moment they were picking the garlic, the person was able to lift themselves off the ground? Could they be considered to be on someone's property?
Wild garlic? Just having a laugh - someone else mentioned it earlier. Too subtle for some.

As was I to not remember the Gorilla sketch used the same modified line because I used to watch that avidly too.

Very funny thread. If we really can't have a "Middle Class Whiny Cockbags" sticker, then please can we have one that says "Singletrackworld:
full of mentals with nothing better to do
does it really matter what the law says we should or shouldnt do .
people have a moral to behave like respectful people.
imo nothing wrong in picking flowers in moderation my daughter does it but 2 or 3 not a full bouquet .
im on tj side of things but the picture that has been painted in my head is not a good one & this is based on the fact the parent if you can call them that ,used fould abusive language in front of the child.
now the actaul words of swearing dont affend me its how there said .
if someone says somethign with a certain venom it doesnt have to be a foul outburst but can easily still offend .
the problem & point here is this child will grow up with little morals been shown form the parent & in turn this poor crude upbringing will spiral down to her children & so on.
untill one day the words dafodils will mean nothing as they will be all gone......kicked trampled pulled picked untill none are left .
cant you see its not about the dafodil its about the bigger picture here.
apologize about grammer spelling etc im actually supposed to be working ....again somethingthe parent probably knows nothing about as my picture in my head says i the tax payer pay her to be the scum of the earth.
Just one last point, how exactly do we propose to varify behond a shadow of a doubt that what is being said is infact the truth of how the events unfolded ❓
Surely without the capacity to independently varify what the OP reports or claims, all subsequent points of contention relating to the rights and wrongs of this situation or issue are infact bampot, numpty, idioticy 😀
I'd try verifying it to start with before you attempt to varify it.
Is it ok if I deliberately plant some daffodil bulbs in the countryside, then pick them in the spring?
(EDIT: then if some steaming bore comes along and tells me off for picking 'wild' flowers, I can tell them to bog off as I planted them myself)
Is it ok if I deliberately plant some daffodil bulbs in the countryside
IMO, answer = no
in this case the consequence isn't a big deal but it seems a bit sad when we simply accept the destruction of something beautiful, that could be shared, because one group of people don't have any appreciation that others might like to enjoy it
A bit like the local mountain bikers who have built trails through and destroyed areas of ancient woodland wildflower colonies deemed of international significance by Natural England.
What helmet for picking wild flowers?
Don't worry they'll grow back
Well actually they probably wont grow back because the bulb will not have had a chance to build up enough energy stores. Daffs and other bulb based plants need to be allowed to grow their whole season until they whither naturally. I think the OP did the right thing. Pikey scum should have been shot IMO. Probably trespassing as well.
Well actually they probably won't grow back
the ones on my lawn that usually get mown whilst in ful flower always do
