      There are loads of blackberries nobody bothers to pick around here, let alone fighting over them.

      I know people that won't pick them from the sides of roads in case they have traffic fumes on them :biggrin:

      There are hardly any blackberries this year - no idea why though. I have looked in a few of the usual places, and they are all pretty bare or have shrivelled up fruits

            That's why the biddies are scrapping over them.

            I read in the news article that the coppers chose to lecture them and remind them that at their age they should be setting an example. What example should they be setting at their age? And presumably the coppers were young enough to be their grand kids, so who are they to talk to these ladies about examples? What can they possibly know about life, the universe and everything that two very elderly ladies don't know?

                  "Two old ladies have a fight picking blackberries."

                  OLD,OLD!
                  They are younger than @ARMANDII and yours truly:lunapic 130165696578242 5: and its been the best year for blackberries for years ,that's probably because hardly anyone goes out picking them as it means they have to stand up and walk to get them,let alone prepare and make pastry:lunapic 130165696578242 5:
                  only joking :sofa:;)

                    You can tell the members if GC who have no sense of humour, believing this to be a real story.
