I am reminded about the old chestnut concerning how to make a monkey trap. Hollow out a heavy gourd through a small hole in the top. Insert a banana and leave in the open. Monkey comes, can get his hand in to grasp the banana, but cannot then withdraw it. Since he is too greedy to let go he is easily caught.
I am not at all unsympathetic, Tim, but I feel sure you posted to inspire a bit of friendly joshing
I did once drip blood in Lidl from a cut being the first to try to rive open the usual corrugated box to extract a tomato juice carton. I must therefore conclude that tomatoes are in league with Tim Lund's almonds - i.e. know how to defend themselves I have contemplated adopting some karate poses to scare cartons into submission or see if fluttering false eyelashes damsel in distress might work. The possibilities are endless. Anyway, back to Stir up Sunday. Amazing variety of dried fruits for Xmas cakes and pud in local shops.
