    It gives it that lovely dark orange colour that the best marmalades have and counterpoints the bitterness of the oranges without being too sweet.

      I've got an idea. In the light of all the the IR threats coming our way let's all pack in contracting, form a commune and make marmalade and chutney all day to sell to large corporations. At least IR35 won't apply then.
      Okay, Denny, many thanks. There's a jar with your name on it. Small, medium or large?

      I would if I thought I could shift enough of it.

            Lucifer's Lemon - (for flavour but also to describe the likely value of IT contracts in the future - like buying a 'lemon' (something useless) - hence we've all left to make marmalade).

            Lucifer's Grapefruit - (for flavour to also to drive home how bitter and sour we all are because of Gordo's constant persecution).

            Lucifer's Thick Cut - (a mixed fruit flavour but really to describe Gordo's greedy tax grabbing approach, hence our reason for packing in IT and making marmalade now).

            Lucifer's Revenge' - Especially for Gordo. Lurid Green Lime Marmalade (green to represent the envy of those who want to stop us getting on and be rewarded for our efforts against the added risks involved) flavoured with a distinct whiff of Almond (Arsenic).


            Denny, would you like to be my marketing manager? I only got as far as Lucifer's Luscious Preserves - They're the Work of the Devil.

                I'm shocked DP knew I would certainly not declare this on my tax form!!

                Tax barstards!
                If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
