Devonbarmygardener and I have decided that we should start a post which supports veg growers in the UK and worries about our own interests first! We're totally unpolitical of course!

So, in the immortal words of Noel Coward, ("Someone's been using my toilet..."),(WHAT! - ED) we've now formed the above Society!

This is the Veg Preservation Society

...to be sung at every opportunity!

VPS - VPS - VPS...

No EU nonsense ere'

Edict - Brussels sprouts are now renamed as 'British Sprouts'!

You can sing about it all you like. 

What have you done about it?

Nearly as bad a French Cheddar, Grans!

[GrannieAnnie]

WHAT???     if it doesn't come from cheddar, then it isn't cheddar!     French cheddar?  That's disgusting!

 

[Growster...]

Oh yes, they tried, Grans!

Ask my old chum, well actually you can't becuase he's left us, but he got a letter in the Telegrout about it years ago...

I'm off to raid the fridge now...;0)

I can't agree there - I only grow climbing Fr**** Beans as I love their flavour..

But we can refer to them as 'climbing beans'

Well join in then Mr Heritage peas!

You know you want to

Getting DD to advance a plan to ban Fr*** Beans is like getting the Pea Administration Committee to agree to nuclear weapons destruction...
