I think all the hearts and minds of Answerbank have tried with this one and failed to find the answer. I doubt you�ll get told off, told to go to Quizzes & Puzzles maybe, but more likely some brute will come along and try to knock you down with a feather.

Ooh, I could crush a grape sometimes.

Try 'Day Job of a Jobbing Gardener' by Mark Wallington. In it , he refers to Mrs Fleming "who is convinced there is buried treasure in the bottom bed". It's based in Hampstead Heath.
