Some time ago ( before I discovered the fount of wisdom and knowledge that is gransnet) one of the shrubs in my garden was in grave danger of being smothered and strangled by bindweed. Not knowing how to best resolve the problem , I turned to Google. Unfortunately I had a senior moment and had completely forgotten the name "bind weed". All I could remember was the name of its cultivated variety. So I happily, in all innocence and naivety googled " how to get rid of vigorous morning glory ". Well!!! How was I to know!!! What an education that turned out to be!!
Has anyone else had a Google revelation that they would rather not have had?

I once googled my single name and was dismayed at something that came up. I had to fill out all the forms to get them to remove the reference as a breach of privacy. It took about 6 months to get rid of it.

I once had a friend whose DH worked in the plastics industry. He was asked to do a presentation and was looking for info on the internet. Never, Ever type in 'plastic degradation' into a search engine, it gives nothing you could present to respectable people!blush
