Guess he'll have to go and buy himself some decent clothes now
They've cut Mr T and left Christine Walkden in? Beggars belief.
Good!
I watch Chelsea on TV for the plants and gardens; as does everyone who
didn't attend in person.
I find AT's unctuous "keep the camera on ME cracking feeble jokes with
my stooge" style of presenting it insufferably intrusive.

Raworth will bring a reporters eye to the show and, as you say, Monty will
have to smarten up. Can't be shabby at Chelsea.
I'd sooner see MD in a worn linen suit any day, than AT decked out in
another godawful home-counties-meets-the-yacht-club stripey
shirt/blazer/ tailored suit ensemble.
And nobody will ever NOTICE what Christine Walkden is wearing, let
alone care, because she never hogs the camera or intrudes between the
viewer and gardens.
