Check this out, it's my work fridge!

It's a 1/8 slice of pineapple (with the core still in) priced at $2.99.

Notice how it juxtaposes nicely with the racist Coon cheese.

It's been a very long time since I got any mileage out of a piece of Coon!
I used to astound people in the UK.

I bought a big block (no - I'm still talking about the Coon) 10 years ago and scanned it before sending it on to friends worldwide.

It all seems so 'what a fresh migrant does off the boat' now.!

I read that BBC article as well, then checked the Woolies online site - limes were less than $5 of a KILO. Given that online prices are inflated I do wonder if the writer misread limes for $2.25 a kilo. Even in our convenience store they are 4 for $1.

I grow my own.

I bought three for $2.60 a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday they were 35 cents apiece. A G&T just isn't the same without a slice of lime
