But number one daughter was thrilled when she spotted this cucumber under the cloche at the allotment!

I defence of the EU it is the supermarkets who demanded straight cucumbers to save on packaging costs.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.  My wifey is gross!   There was I admiring your cucumber when she went "EWWWWwww"  :o "what is that? "...  A cucumber says I.   "No, says she - what is it on? someones fat belly?"

I shan't repeat the rest of the conversation leading to my explaining about work tops but with this level of madness my poor children have no chance of avoiding our genetic inheritance!  :-\

 ;D

HAHAHAHAHHA Oh Icy, I shall never look at my marble chopping board the same again!

;D A cool Cucumber, displayed by a cool model displaying a cool T shirt with a motif of a cool come dancing logo, am I right on all counts? ;D

Apparently the Victorians used to think bent cucumbers were a sign of moral degeneracy. They used glass tubes to force them to grow straight.

thus making them even more phallic RB :o :o ;D

I saw one of those cucumber straighteners last week.  They were huge.  They must have grown whoppers in them days  ;D

As silly a ruling as it might at first seem, the implications for reducing packaging are massive, straight cucumbers are more efficient to pack, meaning less boxes need to go on a lorry, and therefore less fuel is used.
