Re: Pineapples
I'm still wondering at Bristol's $5 watermelon...rarely that cheap here. Often twice that price. (Not that we buy them then)

Re: Pineapples
$7 or $8 is 'regular' but once they start appearing, they are regularly around $5
What I particularly like is that they are genuinely seedless unlike the full-of-seeds seedless ones I used to occasionally buy back in Bristol.

Re: Pineapples
Is that where I'm going wrong?
Damn!! Creston was the only place in all of Canada that I wanted to go. Best get onto the airline and cancel my tickets

. Fair comment though... Probably for the best. Pineapple rash is really nasty

Re: Pineapples
We eat a lot of fruit. One pineapple lasts maybe a week, but we will be living on a pension (a frozen UK pension!) and it's going to be tight. Every little saving will make a difference. We saw pineapples at $5.99 in Creston and US$1.50 over the border. That is enough to prick up our ears. And thanks for the soothing words Snowy560.

Re: Pineapples
But did you know that if you are allergic to kiwifruit, you are likely to be allergic to latex? For that reason, you should tell the hospital if you are going in for surgery so they don't use it.
As for man-flu, I think this is appropriate Man Flu Home
"Man Flu is a crippling and debilitating disorder indiscriminately striking down male members of the human species without warning. The illness is often referred to pejoratively by female members of the species who are in fact immune from the illness as man flu is now known to exclusively attack the XY chromosome carrier. If Man Flu is kind enough not to kill the infected party it will definitely leave him weak, sick, hurting everywhere and in dire need of TLC."
Oooops... thread drift!
As for man-flu, I think this is appropriate Man Flu Home
