GAZING for a moment at the patch of clover, daisies and buttercups that I laughingly call a lawn, I reflected on the lengths to which people will got to make a place to knock a little ball about. A Weston-super-Mare company, for instance, grows turf on sheets of plastic and then rolls them up like a carpet.
But that isn't the end of the matter. The stuff has to be kept chilled in transit and Nicholls refrigerated Transport of Bristol had to be called in to deliver nine tons of temperamental grass at a controlled temperature to Royal Jersey Golf Club.
The worms didn't know which way to turn.
