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

Do you think Marx Bars are getting smaller?

Peter MacFarlane said...

Very good.

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

Excellent!

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

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.

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.
