I agree, Strawberries have long been overrated, and for those with a working class chip on their shoulders it should be pointed out that Strawberries are the food of Wimbledon Tennis; thus associating themselves with poshos possibly including Rupes!!!!!!! Bring on the humble Raspberry:smt049

You fool. You are being brainwashed by the Raspberry growers. Please be aware that most Raspberry varieties oringinated in...SCOTLAND...

I leave that to your conscience, Swanny.:rolleyes:

When I was a little girl we'd often go to Hayling Island for the day. We'd get some strawberries from the Titchfield area (famous for strawberries).

 

Then, on the way home, we'd stop on Portsdown where there used to be an icecream seller selling real white Italian icecream to put on our strawberries.

 

Those were the days

I think the ice cream shop you refer to is owned by ex-Saint and Wales international Ron Davies. Not the one that lives in America these days and was apparently untouchable in the air, but the other one.

No, this was from a van and the guy who operated it was Italian (inevitably called Toni :D).

DSM, you've been brainwashed by the foreign strawberry growers! Most of the strawbs in the UK come from elsewhere in the EU whilst at least the humble raspberry still comes from Britain:smt049

Ras-ist.

 

Au contraire, I love raspberries, just that being Scottish in origin, instead of cream I top them with lightly whipped Buckfast.

 

 

And yes, I saw what you did there...:D

I always thought it was loganberries that came from Scotland :smt102

 

Raspberries are traditionally planted in the winter as dormant canes... a specialized production system called "long cane production" involves growing canes for 1 year in a northern climate such as Scotland (UK)

 

Also Tayberries, Bayberries and Boysenberries.

And of course Craig, who went on to become the bass player in Bros. A musical family.

 

Did you ever meet their Great Uncle Terry?

 

He could never pronounce his L's and changed his name by deed poll to avoid having to make a fool of himself for such a hideous speech impediment. Went on to make a record about morris dancing apparently. Bloody nice bloke.
