We were in an Italian restaurant in Armagh on a press trip with the Westland peat compost people. Ms. Guinness was the Telegraph’s gardening corespondent at the time, I think (as well as her regular appearances on Gardener’s Question Time). Anyway, we got talking about the various celebrity endorsements for gardening products, of which I stated that the one I found most difficult to write about with a straight face were Bill Oddie’s Fat Balls. Anyway, she laughed helplessly and, from that moment on, she was as putty in my hands.
