Special offer.

Tell you what, squire, do you two for one.

Cutting me own throat, but how about three for one?

Look, look.....free sample, how about that?

You're a hard man, I can see that.
Best and final offer, here's £5 if you take this bag full.

What, bloke down the road offered you £10?

Sounds like you are in the market for some courgettes ;-) I'll have a van
load delivered to your house tomorrow for £1.

It's either glut or none with 'em. The freezer is already full of chopped
frozen courgettes to make soup with over winter. Blink and you've got a
full sized naval torpedo growing.

Last year mosaic virus stopped them all dead in their track after
harvesting a handful. Overrun with them this year already.


I'm up for some in the post ;-), mine failed (they always do) through slugs
or something else, I know not what.
