Has anyone ever bought 3 cucumbers at once?

Meanwhile children the length & breadth of Britain celeberate the national salad shortage

To answer the OP: No

I have, occasionally, noticed people buying trolleys full of broccoli, and red peppers (but, not recently), in our local Asda.

We shopped in Asda this morning, didn’t notice any empty veg shelves, nor any notices indicating restrictions on numbers.

Good marketing tactic I would think?, say you can “only” have 3, many people will buy 3 instead of 1.

Someone has bought all the cucumbers and tomatoes in Morrisons.

Yey fixed the spacing by using Android Chrome not Samsung

Friend who’s just come back (?) from South Africa told me in places you’re now limited to only being allowed to buy 12 bottles of Red Wine at a time….

“HIC’ is all I have to say about that.

We need to do this more often to get people throwing away five a day of fruit and veg…

FTFY. 😂

I know people who think like that, but I don't get it! I had 4 salads last week and have had 2 so far this week. I would eat very hot food on a blazing hot summer day too!

Now if you were talking about cyclists wearing shorts on freezing days, I would agree with you! (Or the people I have seen riding in winter kit on a blazing hot summer day...)

As for veg restrictions and shortages... I noticed that our local Aldi was out of a lot of things yesterday, including cucumbers. I will be going here again this evening and will see if they have restocked or introduced quotas.

My regular postie wears shorts all year round. And a woollen beanie hat, so go figure...

At this time of year, I am very much a "seasonal stodge" kind of person when it comes to food. Might have the odd cold thing alongside a cooked meal - like the smoked beetroot that Tesco do, or some coleslaw or a Polish-style vegetable salad, but usually that's much more of a summer thing.

I’ve never really liked the home grown ones.
My neighbour gives them away in the summer so I end up with a few, the skin is bit too think and bitter.
I prefer the bland shop bought variety.

Outdoor ridge cucumbers are just the thing to pickle - but you DO need to peel them.

Failing that, they also make a good face pack.

Mine does too!

Aldi had no cucumbers, peppers, eggs, and various other things on my shopping list tonight. I didn't spot any notices rationing what WAS available, but there were cards blaming the empty shelves on bad weather in europe.

Don't you know there's a war on !

I buy packs of 6 mini cucumbers from Aldi. I have a Turkish homestay student so getting into cucumber olive and cheese for brekkie.

I wore shorts as a postie for years...when your walking 12 miles a day you don't feel it.But the main reason is it's easier to dry your legs than trousers.Nothimg worse than wet trousers 😁
Saying that I've only had bib longs on a couple of times this year,as long as fingers,toes,ears are warm I'm fine.Prefer shorts.
