The Strange Case of the Fillipino Blackberry Farm
Background context
An acquaintance of ours is in the process of purchasing a prawn farm in the Philippines.
Chef:Did you see that story in the paper this morning about the people in Indonesia that were crushed in a stampede to buy half price blackberries?
Self:No.....Can you not get them over there?
Chef:Well they were selling them off cheaply,people were knocked unconscious and injured.
Self:That's what Acquaintance should be doing.
Chef:What??
Self:That's what Acquaintance should be doing,planting a blackberry orchard.
Chef:Eh??What are you on about??
Self:Acquaintance should plant a blackberry orchard.Instead of the prawns.He could clean up.
Chef:EH?? Are you serious??I'm talking Blackberrys not blackberries,you know like the one you've got in your hand right now....
Self:..............oh! (manic laughter)
Chef:You klampet(tears rolling down cheeks)I can see the headline now 'hundreds trampled underfoot in mayhem to secure half price punnet of blackberries'
Self:............................
Chef:I think you need a holiday.
Personally, I think Blackberry is a silly name for a mobile phone.....

I thought "Strange, i didn't know that Indonesians would have a taste for uch fruit when the country is full of much more exotic fruits like mangos.
BTW What sort of bush grows prawns on your Aquaintance's Prawn Farm?
I know you can get Bush Prawns in Aussie.
Chef is right though. You do need a holiday. Hint Hint
TSB I dont much fancy the grub fest,these are you know proper prawns..
Wally- Just googled the Ronnie CORBETT thing-HILARIOUS.Really fancying a holiday..
Which I tend to call a Blueberry anyway.
Prawn farming sounds nicer and warmer than running pubs in the bleak midwinter in the UK, doesn't it?!
Have a happy One when it comes!!!
