I shall leave an answer to that to an ex British soldier now enjoying the good life in Germany, come on Dave, I have a sense of humour but with never being in the military I cannot match yours.

Don’t sell yourself short son….’yer blood’s worth bottling’.
You do not need to be in the military to develop a sense of humour Taddy.
You just have to have lived a varied life and view it as a crazy experiment.
What a cracking answer, keep it coming, By the way Marge, I don't know whether you fancy a few apples but if we are both still around this time next year then let me know and I will drop you of a few, or even more than a few.
I hope we will both be around this time next year…..and if we are….then that would be lovely.
Didn’t Eve tempt Adam with an Apple?

Tads mate, humour comes in many forms & I do recall you've placed a few chuckleworthy quips on these pages. 
You’ll have to wait and see Taddy…and I will too.
anyone got any idea on how to ripen strawberries? 
ive had a second crop of strawberries on my plants in the pots .. and as you can see .. theyre not turning red and it is a bit late now for them to turn red ..
by the way the photos were taken yesterday (monday)

Put a banana near them….I am not sure if this will work on fruit still growing, but it works on picked fruit Jen.
Marge could be spot on with her comment, it certainly works with growing Tomato's, I use Banana skins in the greenhouse every year. works a treat but don't waste good banana's only use the skins
November the 8th, just mowed the lawn for the last time this year. Never done it as late as this!

I have only put my central heating on at the beginning of this week…and then only because my other half has just come out of hospital.
I was hoping to get to December!

I thought that I had finished with the allotment for this year until I realized that I had sown some Parsnips and forgotten they were there, I dug them up earlier this week and Mrs Taddy turned them into Parsnip Soup, what a revelation, I love any homemade soup that Mrs Taddy ever makes but this one has to be the (creme, de, la, Creme), OK, maybe the spelling is not perfect but after a few, (maybe more),Hobgoblins, what does it matter, I will certainly sleep well tonight.
I said that I would be back to bore you with allotment tales this year, well here is my first installment, I have today just planted two hundred and sixty four onion sets in seed trays in order to let them obtain a decent root growth before I put them into their final bed on the allotment, plus I have got early and main crop potatoes "chitting", yes that is spelt correctly with a "C" and not an "S", also in seed trays, ready to plant in a couple of weeks or so. (now Hobgoblin Time).
Today, Planted forty peas, in pots, plus forty six "Huncoat" Climbing Beans in pots, O/K they are called "French" beans on the packet but we have never, ever( been), (a pun), friends of the snail eaters, so if I am planting them in Huncoat and picking them in Huncoat, then they are Huncoat beans.
Putting them in pots is the easy bit, in another month or whatever, when they have developed a decent root growth then I shall have bend my seventy six year old back and replant them into their final bed on the allotment, just the thought of the task is giving me a thirst for a Hobgoblin (or) three.
