In Horticulture Week, an article by Andrew Hewson, quotes him as saying
"How I yearn for television gardeners, only proper ones who smoke pipes
and double dig". His half page feature is a wonderful blow for common
sense and against pc-ness. With a bit of luck it will be online in a
few days at http://www.hortweek.com/

Real gardeners smoke herrings in their gardens and to hell with the neighbours.

Yes, their pipes really are something you don't want to get downwind
of.

Real gardeners wear boots with steel toecaps and a steel midsole for digging
not those useless wellies the GCs sell.
