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!
EJ May we now see pic of no 1 daughter without her moustache please. ;D It looks like she has inherited her lovely looks from her Nan, lucky girl. Lorna.
;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.
