Onerous!!! as if I'd do such a thing to you.    
I read last week that parsley doesn't germinate in the heat when its over 22C so I'm going to wait for the end of the week when its forecast to be a bit cooler.

		Danny, I found that it crops up when you edit someone else's post, i.e.  if you only want to mention a particular sentence, not the whole post, so delete the irrelevant bits.  Does that make any sense?
