I notice that The Library offers "Read a good book or watched a film that you can recommend? Post it here. Also the photography thread."

I note that the 'Photography Thread' has been unchanged since February 2008, in the days of the late lamented Mr Growler.

This blatantly misleading heading is a disgrace and in my opinion the reason we only seem to be attracting weirdos and misfits to the forum.

Something should be done about it.

Disgusted of Berkshire

I bet you wish you could grow turnips that quickly! lol:
