Title: Pumpkin Post by: slinky on Thursday, December 22, 2011, 19:23:28 Does anyone know anywhere that are selling pumpkins in or around Swindon? I need one for Sunday and can't find one anywhere. I've looked in Sainsbury's (Stratton), Asda, Aldi, Tesco, Morrisons and Marks and Spencer. Any info would be much appreciated!

Title: Re: Pumpkin Post by: jonny72 on Thursday, December 22, 2011, 20:24:19 Does it have to be a pumpkin? If you just need the flesh then maybe squash would do instead.
Title: Re: Pumpkin Post by: suttonred on Thursday, December 22, 2011, 20:33:36 I would imagine squash us what it will end up as, I can't see beyond some hutchence esque out of season perv fest.

That's the backup plan but I'm hoping to find the real thing. Cheers. Title: Re: Pumpkin Post by: donkey on Thursday, December 22, 2011, 21:34:39 The pumpkin shop in the outlet village is the place.
