The message .com
from "pammyT" contains these words:

why rake them up? Have you seen the price of English walnuts in the
shops?Pick them and sell them if you don't like walnuts.
My dozy townie neighours let the apples drop off their tree and rot in
the lawn, then buy apples from tesco. I mean why bother with nasty
organic russets for free, when you can have nice shiny french golden
delicious at over a £ a kilo?
The world has gone mad.

Don't be silly! You can't eat apples which have been hanging on a tree
for half the year! They might have been walked on by a caterpillar or
worse, and in any case, they have all lost that tasty sticky label and
their plastic wrapping.
