"Three Bampton residents Arnold Woodley, Jack Horn and Reg Absolom formed the Bampton Pumpkin club in March, 1969. Every October there is a Pumpkin club weigh-in, where all contestants' Pumpkins are weighed, with the winner receiving a prize. The first ever winner of the club weigh-in was Joe Buckingham with a gourd weighing 51.5lbs. After the weigh-in the pumpkins, along with flowers, fruit and vegetables, are put up for auction. The sum of money raised is donated to the local pensioners." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bampton%2C_Oxfordshirei want to die |

i had a vegetable patch in my old garden. sweetcorn tastes so much nicer freshly picked than it does from the supermarket.

That is nothing..........front page of our local paper last week was a story about how a pensioner got charged an extra 20p or something by the post office because a birthday card was a few CM's too big :|
