Before I move back onto garden and landscaping matters I thought I would conduct a little poll.
I while back I threatened to expose the identity of the Garden Monkey but didn't do it. I am still willing to let the secret lie if that is the consensus, but, first of all, I thought I would ask you, the readers, if you would like to know who it is or would you like the author to remain a secret?
So that you do not have to use the comments section and reveal to the 'other' Garden Monkey who you are, I have added a poll so that you can vote with anonymity - even I will not know who has voted.
The date and time has been set for 5pm on Friday the 28th March and depending on the majority vote, the answer will be revealed or buried for a later date.
The other consideration is, do we let the Sun newspaper in on this or a more upmarket rag like the Times?
The great thing, if you do decide that the revelation should go ahead, then there might be a bit of explaining to do to a few people in the media.
If you would like to run this poll and would like me to send you the code to embed into a post then drop me an email at [email protected].
Hi Phil,
I've cast my vote - after a great deal of thought I've gone for No. As you know I don't use my name on my blog - that's because I'm nervous about personal details and t'internet. In GM's case I think it's just so he can say what he likes without any constraints. If we don't like all or some of the content we can a) not read the blog anymore and/or b)give feedback directly via a Comment.
So we've had some fun, but let's leave well alone.

Of course we are all curious to know GM's identity, but the pleasure is in the speculation. I don't want to find out this way. I respect your blog and enjoy the factual industry information - but this seems out of character with your other articles. Just because one can do something doesn't mean one should

I just think it would be a shame. I think it would be a terrible shame. It's like knowing there isn't santa claus. There's nothing joyful about knowing. And life ought to be about joy!
