            To be fair I have some familiarity with the hoes of Plymouth.


            .. a decent selection on sale, at the Plymouth Garden Centre:

                    Devil’s Dyke is hardly rude. Only makes it there because it offends some hand wringing liberals. That's more a sign of the tulip times we live in rather than amusing.
