    So who did you accuse of blackmail?

      Loads available on Ocado.

      Maybe ask Komrade Corbyn to make you some?

        I can't remember. Someone overheard and took offence.

            Apparently 90% of Britain's Blackcurrants are used to make Ribena. That doesn't leave much left for the rest of us.

              No one did cause people back then were too busy munching on corned beef and prawn cocktails. Fruit was something the Italians ate.

                    Plenty of blackcurrant jam in Morrisons this morning though there was a strange dearth of such and bramble jelly about 5 or 6 weeks ago.

                    I blame the EUSSR.

                    Oh, and Grocer Heath while I remember.

                    Now what did I come in here for?

                      Strawberry Jam.



                      All other flavours are for fannies. And taste crap. HTH.

                      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
