Got me seeds today
The message
from Jaques d'Alltrades contains these words: The message from Anne Jackson contains these words: I have a redundant sunbed in the attic. Could the light problem be overcome, if I was to rig that up and bypass the automatic time control? If you substituted daylight bulbs/tubes, I expect so. What are you thinking of growing? Cacti? Olives? Merulas? Texas Bluebonnets. -- AnneJ ICQ #:- 119531282 |

Apparently, carrots are now fruit..... That is only following a UK precedent. The Ministry of Food was very keen on treating them as fruit in the 1940s. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

The tale I heard was - jam is made from fruit, the Portuguese make carrot jam, therefore carrot is a fruit. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

That is what I heard, whether or not it is true. What is not said by the people who quote it is that, until we joined the EU, it was perfectly legal (in the UK) to describe a conserve made out of turnips and woodchips and describe it as "100% natural raspberry jam". It may even have been legal to describe it as "100% pure fruit raspberry jam". The nasty-minded EU infringed the liberty of people to do that. Quite disgraceful. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
