Re: Dietary preferences

I had a mate who would go into the greengrocer's and ask for damaged fruit: they had a box near the floor containing rejects.

We also had a lad in the village who would beg the core when he saw a kid eating an apple. I never knew if his dad worked or not.

Gilbert Swift also told us that we should wear clean socks each day; if we couldn't manage that, we should wear a pair alternate days. Unbelievable today?
