I’m pretty sure they are dead. You’ve not got a VW Beetle then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure they are dead. Should have stuck them in the boot m9, direct sunlight quickly gubs cut flowers. Shock treatment usually works to bring them back to life. If you've not already chucked them, put some boiling water in the bottom of a suitable vase/jug, re-cut the bottom of the stems at an angle and stand them in the water for 20min. Take them out and put them in a vase of cold water and they should hopefully pick up if they're not too far gone already. (Wife's a florist and I've seen her do this before). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went out with Daddy and killed some lovely sunflowers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I should have known putting them in direct sunlight inside a car wasn’t the best idea - I just thought the boot would be a tad unfair. It’s a bit late for the boiling water advice, I have put them in a vase with coke water so hopefully they get a bit of life back in them by tomorrow morning! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Folk still insisting on handshakes, get them in the bin. A simple fist bump or a head nod should suffice. Reduces the spread of germs and stops all the hierarchical handshake nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ah, a good firm handshake," they wheeze, having tried to show their dominance by crushing your hand, only to discover they've vastly underestimated your strength.

Two of the most ridiculous "greetings" have to be the fist bump and the elbow bump. Nobody means it, it's just a wee show and anytime I've seen it happen it's accompanied with a guilty laugh or awkward smile. It's the tilt of the head and an 'awright?' for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a simple 'alright' with a head nod but a fist bump is acceptable also. If it helps bin off handshakes then I'm all for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
