Whenever I have wanted something, usually from Amazon on the

Now, my wife is in a tizzy because she cannot find anything to

I might have to make do with a chocolate Father Christmas!


or an orange and an apple like we used to get ....


A very good point, Jim, from the days when the only time
there would be any fresh fruit in the house would
be at Christmastide.

There'd be a neat bowl of fruit on the table, but you weren't expected
ever to help yourself to one!

In sharp contrast to today's weekly shop where I bought meths.
