When my late father moved to rural Norfolk as a boy at the start of WWII people would leave bags and boxes full of root vegetables on the doorstep late at night. At first my grandparents assumed that this was some sort of tradition to ward off evil, or possibly a clumsy attempt at a trap for the incomers. <br /><br />After a while it emerged that the illiterate peasentry had little or no idea as to the identity of these vegetables and were hoping that my grandfather - an educated man - might walk into the pub (called the Ostrich, so some small research might tell you in which village they were living) and announce to the barman that he had enjoyed the kohl rabi or whatever and another minor mystery might be solved.<br /><br />Instead they went directly into the rabbits and illegal pig he was rearing in the back garden.Jonhttp://www.vendeeblog.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-91277218941178406152012-09-15T14:42:40.043+02:002012-09-15T14:42:40.043+02:00Keith: I suspect the truth of the matter is too de...Keith: I suspect the truth of the matter is too deeply buried.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-29480783912110192332012-09-15T10:52:25.358+02:002012-09-15T10:52:25.358+02:00You may never get to the root of it.You may never get to the root of it.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070505642533336362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-78235325572661647232012-09-14T23:51:23.621+02:002012-09-14T23:51:23.621+02:00John: if I find one of them I'll know I'm ...John: if I find one of them I'll know I'm in trouble.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-196906205253286852012-09-14T22:09:29.936+02:002012-09-14T22:09:29.936+02:00mad as the proverbial box of frogs!mad as the proverbial box of frogs!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-88033592947991930452012-09-14T18:01:11.616+02:002012-09-14T18:01:11.616+02:00Nota Bene: this is Leamington Spa... it's more...Nota Bene: this is Leamington Spa... it's more likely to be the former.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-17881652844743331232012-09-14T13:41:20.509+02:002012-09-14T13:41:20.509+02:00Its either witchcraft..or a large hole in someone&...Its either witchcraft..or a large hole in someone's Sainsbury's bagNota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-46699964824271610372012-09-14T07:38:30.422+02:002012-09-14T07:38:30.422+02:00The fly in the web: a contender for the Turnip pri...The fly in the web: a contender for the Turnip prize.<br /><br />Being Me: for me vegetable art is a bit of a has-bean.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-63347963208382785662012-09-13T23:38:41.747+02:002012-09-13T23:38:41.747+02:00Your workplace never ceases to cause wonder.
