The only thing is that I hate myself for going into Tesco, against all my beliefs,one firm controlling so much of the market for manufacturers,growers and customers is too much.But it seems they are victims of their own success now

He is not most likely right, he is right. You need the non-clumping type. The clumping type retains water, forms clumps, and falls apart. You want the well-draining, non-clumping type.
I use fired, danish clay pellets. I have bought three bags, one of them I put in my plastic soil container (that I use when I'm repotting), to rinse out the dust (which probably wasn't really necessary). I have left that container outside, without the lid on, so it has been under water for a few months now. They are still intact. I've used it for some of my trees, I'll certainly use it for other trees that need to be repotted next year.
It doesn't look bad at all:

Great.. Bonsai is also about respect for nature. Also a 'worthless' privet deserves respect and there is no reason to go about treating it in a way that is known to be bad for it's health.

Respect for nature comes in many ways. As i cannot plant he privet outside, because i do not have a garden, it remains inside, i have to much to handle, no one wants it (part of my family etc.) so the only other way is to stick it in the allotments compost heap. So either way, whatever people do they are respecting nature a bit, in different ways, little ways. What respect do weeds get.
