  1. Grins in appreciation... but may foretell what is to come.

    Do you think Marx Bars are getting smaller?

    Very good.

    The old music-song “Yes, we have no bananas” comes to mind too.

  3. Excellent!

    Like the mention of 'Turnip'... - did the previous Foreign Secretary shop there?

  4. I saw a malapropism today: "cubed roots". I immediately thought of turnips.
    That turned my mind to Sir Cur Turnip. So I went to lie down for a little.

  5. DJ - according to the Ministry of Truth, the Marx Bar has been increased in size by 20 grams and the Mamdani Pizza topping has increased by one slice of tomato.

    Peter - yes it does come to mind and New Yorkers will probably learn it in another year or so.

    Scrobs - yes it's strange how it almost impossible to think of the previous Foreign Secretary without thinking of turnips.

    dearieme - yesterday we had cubed roots with the evening meal, or Parmentier potatoes as Mrs H insists on calling them.
