You might choose to look at the current U.K. rules… this for apples, for example. U.K. marketing standards. I'm not reading that, if apples are beyond sale can @rennie make cider 1 Quote

It's not something exotic, only a Skoda Citigo. 1 Quote

Pretty sure the local apple growers hereabouts don't conform to all that. And I'm not including the ones that go for cider! 1 Quote

It's not something exotic, only a Skoda Citigo. Try buying a car. All car manufacturers including the German ones are struggling due to lack of key electronic components. The sky is obviously falling. Quote

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 Buses? What are they? We haven't seen a bus since sometime back in the 1950's. Probably why we have more horses than people in the village. Quote
