I bought 3 pairs of gardening gloves for £3 in Wilkinsons yesterday, and they're rubbish. The first pair were falling apart after a mere 10 minutes of wielding the Neverbend Rootbreaker.

Is it Wilkinsons or Wilko?

Wilko is the brand, Wilkinsons is the shop name. Actually I think they're calling the shops Wilko as well now, but I refuse to collaborate with any such change

I will not be dictated to on matters of nomenclature by people who sell rubbish gardening gloves

I buy my gardening gloves from Poundland.

Gardening gloves are for wimps.

You wouldn't say that if you had an apple tree with a berberis, a holly bush and a wild rose growing underneath it and constantly seeking to tangle themselves into its branches.

I had to unthread a rose stem today that was literally 20ft long.

I would.

I reckon Nightjar would even wear gloves like this to telephone his gardener to deal with the unkept roses.
