Blackcurrants

[minestrone]

The only time I've come across political correctness in the work place was when I was accused by a permie of using racist language by using the word 'blackmail'.

So who did you accuse of blackmail?

Loads available on Ocado.

Maybe ask Komrade Corbyn to make you some?

[Old Greg]

So who did you accuse of blackmail?

I can't remember. Someone overheard and took offence.

nicked my front gate, too.

Apparently 90% of Britain's Blackcurrants are used to make Ribena. That doesn't leave much left for the rest of us.

I don't ever remember a prolonged shortage of fruit of any kind prior to the UK joining the EU. So, who was picking it then?

No one did cause people back then were too busy munching on corned beef and prawn cocktails. Fruit was something the Italians ate.

Are you sure they haven't been rebranded `Currants of colour' and moved somewhere else?

And what about catering for our racist friends? I want to eat whitecurrants

Edit: there really are whitecurrants - never knew..

Plenty of blackcurrant jam in Morrisons this morning though there was a strange dearth of such and bramble jelly about 5 or 6 weeks ago.

I blame the EUSSR.

Oh, and Grocer Heath while I remember.

Now what did I come in here for?

[quackhandle]

Strawberry Jam.



All other flavours are for fannies. And taste crap. HTH.
