A DEVOTED gardener was shocked to find that rogues had planted illegal drugs in his allotment.
The disgruntled plot holder arrived at his patch to find a letter in his tool shed claiming to be from the "Bulgarian Buddhists on Benefits in England". It explained that the people who wrote it were gypsies and wanted to move back home to their homeland but could not afford the airfare.
To raise funds, the crafty visitors planted a cannabis plant on the allotment which they hoped would be cultivated to sell around Slough to raise money for their journey.
The letter explained that they had seen a Buddhist flag that the gardener was flying as his wife is a Buddhist and thought he might help them in their plan.
It stated: "Hello sirs, we liking your flag very nice. You see we thinking you help very nice.
"Want you grow special smokey veggie for us with cabbages, so we sell, make money - we get plane home - everybody happy.
"So what we do, put pot smoky veg hiding already - we come in night and takeaway droogy."
Not wanting to be involved in the illegal drug trade, the plot holder, who wishes to remain anonymous, uprooted the plant and took the flag down.
He said: "They've got a cheek. If they're illegal immigrants and want to go home to Bulgaria, they shouldn't just presume they can get money for their flight by breaking the law and growing drugs on a vegetable plot.
"They probably saw the Buddhist flag, so I suppose they reckoned that if they're really Buddhists themselves, I'd be tolerant of what they were doing.
"On one side I see it could be a joke but it would be a joke with something illegal. If it was a joke it could have been at my expense if the police prosecuted, but luckily I nipped it in the bud.
"I'll certainly be keeping my eyes peeled for anything else strange."
