No. I assume they are three people rather than two. I'm very happy to concede that the premise of the question could be wrong. That will at least enable you to enjoy your evening if nothing else. I doubt that GM used the question, so no harm done.

I can see arguments next time, if he did use it. You might have to pedal a bit quicker, for longer.

Another horticulture question.
Just had 2 large(ish) wooden planters made for a patio area........they are approx 4' x 2'. I will put visqueen stuff in but could do with something on the base to aid drainage.
I have no polystyrene and with big stores closed not able to get any.
Loathe to put stones in because of weaight.
Any suggestions?
Does it really matter ?
It doesn't really matter but it would be better if you could add something for drainage.

White goods, TVs etc often come wrapped in polystyrene - buy a new TV!! More seriously try popping in to Currys/PC World and asking for some. I bet they have skips full of the stuff.

Depending on what your growing in them could you put in a false bottom so only, say, 75% of the planter is used. Some holes in the false base would allow drainage.

Have put a false bottom in and it will have drainage holes etc.
Currys etc not open.
Me thinks I will have to go the old/proper way
