Stereotypes

I definitely have had in my mind a stereotype of the sort of person who has an allotment, they are 50+, working class male who wears a flat cap and is also likely to keep pigeons. I've already noticed that these days that is quite wrong there are more and more women, younger people and families getting involved as people grow increasingly concerned about living more sustainably and in a greener and more organic way. It's one of those things I am learning as I get older that the more sweeping judgements you make, the more often you are likely to be wrong and I'm also quite horrified that really I am a bit of a snob which I don't like one bit, I can see that this will be a learning exercise in more ways than one.
