Re: Cucumber News
Which half starves? ... those that live on imported lettuce of course!
As for where the pork comes from for the pork pies and sausages ... who cares cos they taste far better than those shite NZ suasages.

Re: Cucumber News
Well over half the pork eaten in NZ is also imported so what is the difference?

Re: Cucumber News
Countdown price $8.99/kg or £5.30 at todays exchange rate .. aren't they supposed to be in season and at their cheapest in NZ?

Re: Cucumber News
No idea - I consider courgettes stock food, along with pumpkins/swedes/turnip/kale..... My five a day consists of lettuce, tomatoes and runner beans from the garden and nectarines, plums and soft fruit from our trees/bushes, but suffering from that apple shortage :-)

Re: Cucumber News
So extortionate black market shortage winter prices in the UK are about the same price as NZ in season cheap summer prices.
That's the New Zealand I remember � ����
I'm going to the market today before I have a pre match gallon of beer this afternoon. I will investigate this matter further.
Here's a question for everyone:
How posh have you got to be for it to be acceptable to peel a Cucumber?

BBC - Lettuce Rationing
'A spokesman for the Prime Minister, Theresa May, said the government knew there was a "situation", and that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) was "monitoring" it.'
Brings tears of mirth to my eyes

Re: Cucumber News
I went to visit my brothers allotment yesterday.
He was feeding his chickens salad, in the middle of winter during a salad crisis. Bloody salad.
How the other half live!!!!

Re: Cucumber News
Yeah, how the other half live - they have to rent an allotment instead of having it in their own back garden

Caravan and Salad.
UK chickens today don't know they're born.

Re: Cucumber News
Peculiar chicken too - mine won't look at 'salad' - brassicas are heaven though.

Re: Cucumber News
In today's Cucumber news: A notice in Countdown yesterday :
Lettuces are currently in short supply ' due to weather conditions ' .
I kid you not.
My first lot of salad got trashed in the storms. Made the sweetcorn look like a corn circle .

Re: Cucumber News
My brother has an allotment, they also have quite a large back garden in the north-east of England. I think it's more to do with getting away from home and meeting with like-minded individuals in his case.
