    Talking of M&S, just been there to get myself a sandwich. Saw some plums, nice, thought I, aint had them in a while, so bought a pack. You know what it's like, you haven't had something for quite a while and quite look forward to it. Sun's out, it's plum weather!

    Complete swizz. I bit into one and nearly lost a tooth. I now have to start at them for days until they are ripe.

    So theres a lesson if you plan on visiting M&S today. Have a good prod and massage of your plums before you get all excited.

    You're on the wrong website for dishing out this kinda advice mate!:eek:
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Nothing wrong with that advice. I might have another rub in a min as I popped one of them out in the sun on the windowsill :)

    Can't hold back much longer...

    So, Graham, are your plums juicy?

    (I think actually you've all just sunk to my level...;))
