I'll speak to my mum on Sunday.  

She has an Apple tree but I can't remember if its a cooking apple or Orange Cox Pippin.  She had one of each but took one down...

My mum has an apple tree overhanging her garden with a good crop on, but I think they are cookers... Will check!

Good news:

Quoting: My Mum

Don't know what type but they are eaters as opposed to cooking. Tried them last year & they were sweetish but texture is a bit dry (prob doesn't matter if for cider)  The branches on our side are so laden I have to duck to go under them.  There are lots dropping. Think its because there are so many this year as they are not really ready until October.  Come & take a few samples if you wish.  Your mate will know if they will be okay.

Fill ya boots Mr.B

She lives in Hanslope...

There's an apple tree over-hanging CR2 . . . they're normally dropping off all over the place so maybe Ian or Vicky could have a look.

[ianjpage]

[Roadkill]

Don't they roll off the shed roof into your waiting hands ?

You'd never work for Magners.

As it happens - looked out the back door this morning and saw 2 apples sitting in one of the plant pots - they had rolled down the side of the shed.
(Ian - they're in the fridge as one had a chunk out of it from the fall)

There may be some more down the other side of the shed between it and the fence - plus there are a load just above the shed that can 'drop' at anytime onto our side

Oh my gawd, the evangelical Apple owners will be explaining :

1 / Why your wrong.

2 / Justifying the problems.

3 / Explaining why it's own fault for not fully participating in the complete Apple branding profile.

Not got mit yet, but my hotel overlooks the petco park stadium, so there's probably a shop there.

latest one, no signal, kept on cutting out in the middle of a phone call, email delivery was pants so they changed it for a blackberry for me.

Kept trying to convince me it was a one off but the one they got out of the box in the shop was exactly the same. overhyped rubbish

[ianjpage]

lol ok i meant which blackberry !

know what you mean re the iphone  -  lots of issues reported the same as yous if you look online.

My3GS is the mutts nuts!

My old lady sent her Blackberry back after it wouldn't pick up signal in our house where the rest of us on O2 had full bars, she's now waiting on her 16gb 3GS to come through.

Horses for course in my opinion, it's just those annoying Android users...
