Goodness me Cappy. What goes around, comes around. Here's me thinking you were just a real bonzer bloke and here you are, not only a Pomme d'amour but a pomme de terre as well. And not overlooking the former, getting pickled on occasion.
Cheers, Sport.

Cappy, is that an English invention as have seen nothing like it here in Oz where growing tomatoes is one of the biggest veg plot things going. The Italian brigade in particular do so to make their own sauce.
