    That you have but browsed this board while this thread did appear and this weak and idle Beetroot theme is no more yielding but a dream.

    Bogeyman --do not reprehend if you pardon, we will mend.

    And, as I am an honest Pruffock if we have unearned luck.

    Now to scape the serpents tongue.

    We will make amends ere long else AJ Pruffock a liar call.

    Give me your hands if we be friends.

    And AJ Pruffock shall restore amends.

      If a man meets with injustice, it is not required that he shall not be roused to meet it; but if he is angry after he has had time to think upon it, that is sinful. The flame is not wring, but the coals are.

          Very nice Alf.

          I especially liked the bit about "scape the serpents tongue".

                  I'll tell you why beetroot sales are booming, I wanted one for a salad but had to buy a four pack instead. Three ended up in the compost heap.


                  bl**dy packaging. Sales should be in the red , not the black

                    Hit that bug myself recently.

                    My Workaround ?

                    Invest in a jar of pickled Beetroot, not quite as fresh but you can load and go without waste, as they say it the IT world.
