      High enough authority?

      P.S.



      Have you ever seen how cucumbers grow? They have plenty of seeds too you know!
      Ah well, I forgot we are subservient to the US supreme court in the UK. Silly me. Who needs science when we have the US supreme court (And creationism) to explain everything to us dunderheads on the other side of the atlantic.

            Irrelevent. Scientific definition of a tomato is a fruit. In the UK we class it as a fruit. What and how the US chooses to classify it's vegetables and fruits is neither here nor there. You pointed out that you found it odd that we (The UK) classify it as a fruit, I highlighted why that is.

            You live in the UK, and are posting on a UK BB, so learn to live with the fact that a tomato is a fruit or move to a country where your kind of heretical fruit classification is tolerated.

            I'm off to watch the bhoys put Manure to the sword. I suggest you go have another cherry beer, or whatever other 'fruity' beverage you are trying out tonight. Maybe dial a hooker too, it'll change your world view 100%, I guarantee.

                It is odd because it's wrong - you don't get BLT or chicken salad sandwich with "fruit" - it contains veg like cucumber (which also has got seeds and turns into veg from flower - I know I grown them).

                The view of the Supreme court makes perfect sense.

                  You're so funny AtW.
                  The world needs more people like you to be worried about such things.
