F*ckin Brexit

Therese Coffey says "Let them eat neeps"



Or words to that effect.

The problem with reporting shortages is that daft folk will buy up the stuff, even when they don't usually consume it.

Are our fruit and vegetables more happier and contented they are not in the EU as well, just like our fish are?

Why are we not being told this.

She has a point in that not that long ago people didn't expect strawberries with their Christmas dinner etc.

I'm sure it's not what people want to hear though.

The Great British Lettuce.


Mrs Donsdaft bought a tub of BRITISH yesterday.
One taste and it went in the bucket , she really should know better by now.

Honestly that's what it was called.

It was in with butters etc. so you could guess what it was meant to be but great big letters BRITISH and little wee letters spreadable was all the real clues.

Just rampant consumerism which is the of the world now, not just confined to the shores. The Tories are somewhat implicit on our society becoming like that.

Complicit, isn’t it? Implicit means something that’s suggested but not expressed directly. Tut tut, 57! Consumers presumably play a part?

57vintage, it isn’t. TheDeeDon means someone who’s not 57vintage. Tut tut, Shetland! etc etc

[57vintage]

I knew it.

Commie bãstard etc etc

Er….boooooo…

I bought my allotment seeds today. Doing my bit for the war effort with onions, potatoes, tomatoes, leeks etc but I really want my chillies going after last years disaster. Switched them to a Razzmatazz type but the method remains the same. It’s fairly easy to grow hot chillies but you have to hurl abuse at them to make them mean

[Donanddusted]

Don't forget the turnips.
Everyone's to eat them now.

Winter onions doing well since October sowing, and under fleece frost protection until mid-March. Summer onion sets, second early spuds (will be in a tray to chit them in a week’s time), and salad seeds bought for direct sowing once the soil has warmed up. Two beds given the annual requisite 2cm dressing of home-made compost in place for summer onions. About 0.75 tonnes of home-made compost in the finishing bay for spud dreels. 5/6 one-tonne builders’ bags full of 2022 and 2023 beech leaves, and a compost bin of the fûckers ready to be shredded by the lawnmower on a suitable warmish day, to add to the current contents added during winter, mostly coffee grounds and kitchen waste, and the carbon of the leaves will get the bastÃ*rd steaming and ready to hap up the spuds as they grow. Onybody selling an office/industrial paper shredder? Shredding thin card as compost bin worm fodder is difficult since retirement and my hours of card-shredding relaxation.

And now over to Carol who’ll show you how she gives her bush its early season trim.
