I GET emails from Waitrose, and a recent one advertising roses in pots in a sale caught my attention.

I tried to register for Waitrose Garden to buy three rose bushes. It kept telling me my ML8 postcode wasn’t valid. I eventually phoned them to be told they don’t deliver to South Lanarkshire (or presumably the rest of Scotland).

Why does Waitrose send these emails to people living in Scotland when we cannot buy? We are well used to being ignored by Westminster, having to pay more for deliveries etc, but this seems a waste of time.

I tried an internet search for rose growers in Scotland and got ones based in Norfolk and Yorkshire!

Will be heading to a local garden centre for potted roses instead and will be rethinking my occasional trips to Waitrose.
