Plastic and prurient

Today's talk was about the plastic grass on King William Street. We have plastic grass outside the Botanic Gardens and no one has noticed and if they have, they have said not a word, but the plastic lawn on the main street? No! People are not happy. Truth is, many people wouldn't have even noticed there was any lawn on King William Street! The council has paid 20 000 dollars for it, ostensibly to cut costs in watering in our dry state. Given it's raining again today and will be for the next 2 days and my blog is living proof of how much rain we have had in this fair city, to claim we are dry and need to conserve water, well , just doesn't hold water at the moment! I have a feeling we shall be changing it. We are supposed to be a garden city. How can that be if the garden is plastic? Adelaide people really like their gardens and we are not polluted so we don't need plastic. Talk back radio was busy with comment today. Our other pet "p" was prurient. Everything on the radio and TV was prurient. We must've dragged the word out from the archives because you just couldn't get away from it.
