Glad its not only me that gets ingnored by FD who has most of the work in my area. The florist that gets all the work lives next door to the FD, no one else seems to get a look in. The hardware shop in my village sells a few flowers...and they get a lot of the other local FD orders. I get orders if I know the folk. I was advised at college that the FD's expect a cut, I will not stoop to that.
