    You're more likely to catch something off the people handling your produce , rather than animal or bird droppings ! image

    Panic stations call A&E tell them I am coming as many moons ago when i was a lad I half inched Carrots, out door tomato's, fruit and even peas eating the case with a wipe of my hand. Mind saying that it is taking a long time.

    The USA have been genetically changing wheat and other grains could that be relevant?

    On a slightly serious note, we were advised by the Gov't scientist chap not to eat any raw veg or fruit out of our garden because the local Chicken torturers put their used material on the field next to our garden. He found E-coli, Listereira and Salmonella germs in the manure pile.

    We is still alive.....just.

    That is seriously nasty Berghill. Are there no controls over the disposal of the waste?

    I always wash veg from the garden in salted water.  That's better than one request I had.

    "A bottle of hydrochloric acid please.  "

    What are you using it for?

    "I've been told to wash the cabbage in it."

      Erm... No.

    Yes.  I do it with brassicas cos they can lurk and hide in all the folds and nooks and crannies.   Next season I shall be netting them.

    Has it ever occurred to you that when you look at the moon it's the same moon that was seen by Michaelangelo. Shakespeare, Florence Nightingale and Margaret Thatcher, and all those people are now dead?  Don't look at the moon! The moon is killing people!
