Thought this might be of interest to the forum, my friend has made this great iPhone application to show you when Fruit and Veg is in season (rather than imported) - also helps to find farmers markets.


The app is currently featured in the app store, but thought it would be relevant to the foody types around here :)

Good idea...I believe we import far too many fruits/vegetables unnecessarily. The cost to the environment is high. E.g. farmers in Egypt buy seed potatoes from Scotland, which are then grown on in the Egyptian desert using copious amounts of precious water drilled from under the Egyptian desert and fertilizers imported from Ireland. The final product is packed and then shipped to the UK. Ridiculous when we have the perfect climate for growing (and storing) potatoes here.

      Up the reform

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.

      You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again.

      I'm not going to claim 2 old men arguing on line ISN't boring - but it's on a thread about the viability of(or otherwise) of Reform winning power in this country. If they do take power, it will because people like jazzer get away with making claims like they do without challenge I'm challenging him, and like most reform voters, he starts crying I'm twisting his words? do YOU think I'm twisting his words? if so, how? Because it's important if Reform do win power it won't be boring, it will be very bad for the country and I will know who to blame

      I think it's a false dichotomy. Lift maintenance is a priority and I doubt the delays in fixing them is to do with lack of funding. Whether they go ahead with this scheme of not, will make zero difference to how lift maintenance is being managed. There seems to be general opposition to any form of change across this forum.
