Isn’t that a line from a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song?

Half of the NSC vote rigging contestants don't deserve to win either. At least this Brighton lady won fairly.

Might be some sort of ageist reference at a guess. Definitely nothing to do with milk.

Yep, go to agree, fits right in to the Right-On BBC identikit package. Funny then that her garden was voted as the winner by the general public at large, must all be coming around to the Beebs way of thinking

She’s lived in Brighton about 15 minutes, nailed on.

Watched it on catch up yesterday, and have to agree that it was an odd result. It's nice what she's done with the place, but the plants are outnumbered by some tat from the salvage yard, albeit some very well organised tat.

A couple of the others were much nicer spaces.

All look unimaginative to me, the winning garden probably a more practical space to sit in but does not look special.
