I am planning on getting a coriander plant in a pot for the kitchen - not really salad, but fresh coriander is the thing I would be most likely to use when cooking & the stuff in the shops always seems so limp and manky...

The only trouble with this is that one tends to kill it quicker than it regenerates :-) But it is definitely worth a go!

Prob better to try garden centre or similar rather than one of those pots from the supermarket, which aren't really meant to survive long. Although if you repot immediately might do.

Well, you do have another two years to try PBP during - it's a pretty impressive achievement if you manage it!

No I don't - unfortunately it only happens every 4 years (otherwise I wouldn't have tried to qualify in my first year of audaxing or indeed of any sort of distance riding at all!). Next LEL (London-Edinburgh-London) is 2009, but I'm not sure if that appeals to the same extent (part of the appeal of PBP is the fact that it's a Big Deal & people in the villages you go through turn out to support, etc etc - not true for similar rides in the UK!).
