Hello Teddy 23,

I am afraid that I cannot take credit for the name roadkill, I first saw it on the Wombling thread 2 years ago.

When I first saw roadkill I thought you'd managed to hit a pheasant or rabbit and dived out and put it in the pot, hence saving money

Round me they are positively suicidal, especially early in the morning, I rarely go a morning drive without having to swerve or brake to miss one.

I still think of it as roadkill as well, picked up 2p today. People use less cash than before, so I find my annual haul has gone down.:(

Well done, sugar.

I really like buying my fruit and veg from the market as it is so much cheaper. The only problem is that the market isn’t convenient to get to, so I don’t get to go very often.

Chanie, I hardly ever buy fruit from East Street Market because the quality is usually too poor. I went through the punnets of grapes and I was able to find 2 punnets of grapes that were in very good condition.
