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?

thanks, I'll dispatch Mrs. post haste to Morrisons.

Strawberry Jam.



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

As long as it is red. I just don't want any of that brown stuff....

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

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.

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

So who did you accuse of blackmail?

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

Loads available on Ocado.

Maybe ask Komrade Corbyn to make you some?

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'.

Not in Neath he hasn't, the nearest one is 40 miles away.

There was some in Morrisons the other day.

PC could bring him along to check stocks at the food bank.
