Seriously, I have no doubt it's nice granola, I applaud farmers for diversifying, I'd probably buy from them if we ate granola, which we don't, since it's a relatively low-cost luxury, but I want to throttle them with my bare hands for "mues".]

OK, I wouldn't deprive them but a simple "I hope you don't mind" would be nice before the whole lot is hung out... ...and they're the ones who broke the self-isolating rules last week with having extended family around.

GordonG May 2020 11:21am, 21 May 2020 8,161 posts	Quote Pin GordonG the phrase "we're re-doubling our efforts..." So you put in some effort, you then doubled that effort and then you doubled that effort again to make four times the initial effort? If you were capable of putting in that much effort, why didn't you do it in the first place?
