      Plenty pumpkin at Loli's then :) Good on you - I would be at a loss as to what to do with them, mainly because I am not a fan.

        Here you go Dave - sixpence coin and my favourite a 3 pence coin , the threpuny joey ! Written as 6d and 3 d . The d stood for Dinarius an old Roman coin . The pound shillings and pence were termed as L S D ,librae, solidi, denarii all from Roman weights and coins.

          Pumpkin is far tastier than courgettes in a veggie lasagne. Probably works as well in a meaty one.

                  If wonder if the users of a foodbank would have been grateful if somebody donated a van load of 10p pumpkins for them to eat over the next month or so?

                    Had hoped to pick up a couple of pumpkins from Tesco this morning, all gone. Replaced by Christmas stuff already.
