Has anyone ever bought 3 cucumbers at once?

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 😁

There was one time at Snetterton (I was covering a Britcar meeting as a photographer for Autosport) where rain was forecast and I ended up having to dry my jeans on the car heater.

What they hadn't forecast was rain blowing in sideways so that it completely evaded the waterproof gear I'd taken with me.

That wasn't too bad. It was running out of dry socks at Silverstone that was far worse...

Back on topic, I do like tuna and cucumber sandwiches during the summer.

Pretty sure Debbie who lived in an American city might have done according to legend

I hear she moved on to New Orleans shortly thereafter.

I saw a video the other night involving three cucumbers, but maybe it's best not to link it.

True story time when my daughter was about 2 whenever we took her in a supermarket for anything we used to have to buy at least one half of a cucumber for her to munch on as we did the shopping otherwise she would throw a paddy all the time we were in there.
So we quite often picked up at least 2 especially if the shop looked busy.

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.

No visible shortages here this week.

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.

Peel them !

Cafe / sandwich shop owners might

You should come up to Knockhill for horizontal rain.

EDIT: Just to keep the thread on topic. I believe rain is essential for cucumber growing

To be fair, back in the day, we wouldn't expect to have an abundant crop of salad in winter flown in from warmer climates anyway.
Nowt wrong with making coleslaw from carrots and cabbage for winter salad.

maybe grow cress in damp potato or whatever we did in primary school

I reckon in some ways it's a good thing...we need to get used to shortages rather than flying stuff half way round the world.Its not the end of days not being able to get say asparagus in January.
Or whatever month there in season 😁

Our local greengrocer has just published a photo showing an abundance of fresh produce on their shelves.

What's really crazy is expecting to have out of season stuff all year round, expecting to pay the same all year round. Then folk getting in a flap when it's not. All the while glossing over the fact that many people can't even afford to eat let alone buy a cucumber.
