I thought he’d lost the plot.

Now someone keeps adding more and more.

The plot thickens.

…it’s basically, renting a plot of planting land for vegetable/fruit growing etc…also an allotment shed is good for keeping the dead bodies…

I learned all I know about allotments from Eastenders so yeah apparantly we do have them here in Ireland too although i literally never heard of them until Eastenders. Very good idea though for anyone living in the city/an apartment etc

…yeah, in all of my extended family’s homes in the North, they all have big plots for vegetable growing, so I’m not sure they would know allotments…but perfect for town/city dwellers and also for those who use their garden spaces for social gatherings, which is a big thing since COVID times…it’s nice to have that separate allotment as well, my dad had one when we were very young and it was always a gathering of people, vegetable swapping…and as I say, dead bodies…you hide my body/I’ll hide yours and the police will never find them…

…well now we’re going to go straight to the allotment shed to find him……but you wouldn’t do that to Tilly’s dad so he’s safe…for now…

They cost about that here too.

I've thought about it, but it depends whether I have the time.

That's good to hear.

It's not my forte, so I don't really have much to add to this discussion tbh.

But I hope that everything runs smoothly on your visit to the allotment.
