Agreed. That guy didn't get one foot out of his mouth before he put the other one in.

He should have been eating potatoes.

I used to live 4 kilometres from this.

In this place, Prince Edward Island, potatoes are a big deal. I like 'em.

Must be coming up for potato harvest season about now, either this month or next. IIRC harvest begins mid to late September for most crops, although I think potatoes have a 7-12 week growth period, so planting them in March/April...should be round about now.

Given that we've had quite a damp summer, I don't think we're going to see a good harvest this year, lots of rot I'd wager. That'll push prices up...

God, listen to me, I sound like a right old boy.
