    Tried to cut the grass. Too long and too wet for the poxy lawn mower. 
    V Curmudgeonly about that.
    Devon.
  • @Obelixx, don't dismiss Golden Delicious out of hand. I saw a piece from Brogdale,  where the expert said they got a bad reputation because they were picked very under ripe so they would store and transport safely. According to him,   picked properly in season they are full of flavour.
    I heard that the French like them.  Possibly because they're picked at the right time for domestic markets.  I'm not going to say the French are wrong about what tastes nice considering Britain is the land that invented the deep fried Mars bar and pizza!!!? :D

    Oh shoot! Forgot to cut the lawn.  We were away for two weeks plus a very busy first week back without cutting the lawns. I'd reseeded a patch of the front lawn and it's come up lush and thick with grass. If I'm not careful it'll look really bad if I don't strip it soon.

    Can you strip wet grass or is it not advised like mowing a wet lawn???

    And chicken tikka masala and bubble and squeak. I think with the deep fried mars bar we'll go with the sporting option and give full credit to Scotland. 
    Then there's poor man's guacamole ( mushy peas) who was that champagne socialist who made the gaffe?
    Now there an interesting political treatise. Your contributions would be appreciated:
    Food and drink related political gaffes of the 20th and 21st century. .
    In London. Keen but lazy.
  • I heard that Golden Delicious needs a warm climate to produce good fruit, and Britain is less than ideal.

    Both probably.  Never one to let an opportunity for self advancement or politicking go to waste.
