1976_Child Posted 4 April, 2009 Posted 4 April, 2009 Does anyone else share my disdain for the berry made of straw? Just asking, is all..
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 4 April, 2009 Posted 4 April, 2009 You sick puppy. Strawberries are the epitome of English summer. Hang your head in shame...:mad:
swannymere Posted 4 April, 2009 Posted 4 April, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited 4 April, 2009 by swannymere

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.
Arizona Posted 4 April, 2009 Posted 4 April, 2009 A mixed bowl of raspberries, strawberries and cream... f**k now I'm hungry.
Jillyanne Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 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. Racist.
Jillyanne Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I'm allergic to strawberries :-( What happens to you when you eat them then?
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 What happens to you when you eat them then? He dies.
bridge too far Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 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

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.

AndyNorthernSaints Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 What happens to you when you eat them then? Blotchy rash and puffy hands/skin. Not very nice.
Jillyanne Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Blotchy rash and puffy hands/skin. Not very nice. So basically you turn into a strawberry then.
Dog Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I used to fancy the chick out of strawberry switchblade.
hamster Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I used to fancy the chick out of strawberry switchblade. There were 2. hth
saintsforlife7 Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Strawberries and Ice cream, you guys are making me hungry!
swannymere Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 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. 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
Dog Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 There were 2. hth Yeah I know, I didn't fancy the other one.
hamster Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Yeah I know, I didn't fancy the other one. You mean the tall one with one arm?
Saint Martini Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 I like ice cream It's the best. Icecream has one major problem, it too cold.
TopGun Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Icecream has one major problem, it too cold. Strawberries have one major problem. The pikeys who pick them urinate on them to make the weight up.
Scudamore Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 You mean the tall one with one arm? Drinks in the Pensioners apparently...
Deppo Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 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. Ras-ist.
hamster Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Drinks in the Pensioners apparently... Brunette one yeah?
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 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...
bridge too far Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 I always thought it was loganberries that came from Scotland :smt102
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 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.
1976_Child Posted 6 April, 2009 Author Posted 6 April, 2009 Ah! Well done to all of you who have made this non-thread such a roaring success! My hat is doffed accordingly, yours, St. Raw of Berry
hamster Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 I always thought it was loganberries that came from Scotland :smt102 I know the Loganberries well, I am GodMother to their eldest Johnny, who grew up to be a fine singer.
Deppo Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 And of course Craig, who went on to become the bass player in Bros. A musical family.
hamster Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 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.
