Could be worse.

(Don't stop watching before the Gwyn Thomas interview.)

Thank you for that. I had almost forgotten just how wonderful Gwyn Thomas was.

The chip shop was a big part of my childhood, especially when we kids would go in to buy our chips and 'scraps' just as the cinema/bingo crowd were coming out, then surreptitiously unscrew the tops off one of the salt cellars so that one unlucky customer would have a bagful of salt on their chips while we looked on from across the street through the window. We only got away with it a couple of times.

Look at his smug face as he stock piles foreign tomatoes. Whilst Therese Coffey has to make do with a good old British turnip.

Pah, Don't be too hard on Mike. He's busy packing his bags after his mate recommended he go on holiday to the south of spain and visit him in a beautiful little town called Scarborough, just east of Marbella. We all need mates like Mikes mate.

Hodge is a loathsome individual, but I'm obliged to concede that this is funny:

Tipsters were all right.

The humble turnip is back.

That's a turnip for the books.

Great to see the Spanish have freed themselves from the clutches of the evil EUSSR and adopted the good old british pound.

It turns out that the UK is a net importer of turnips. I do hope they don't come from the EU.

The root of the solution apparently…

When we speak of "turnips" can we clarify what we mean? My Son-in-Law (born in Hampshire), refers to the (usually) large purplish colour root vegetable as "swedes", and, the (usually) smaller white coloured root vegetable as "turnip". We (in Tyne Wear, and, perhaps beyond), name them the opposite way around.

large purplish colour root vegetable

I.e. what we used to make turnip lanterns out of before all this pumpkin malarkey started.

Anarchy. Don’t we have a Min of Ag to sort out this sort of thing?
