Undaunted by this, Wilson and Byron set up their Roadside Tomato Emporium early this morning, laid out their tomatoes and waited for the customers to pour in.
They haven't had any actual customers yet — a few of our neighbours have called by to say hello and generally encourage them — but nobody has actually bought anything.
Wilson blames the inclement weather for his lack of sales, but I'm more inclined to think it's his prices: 75p (~US$1) for a single tomato seems pretty steep to me, but Wilson explained that overheads are notoriously high in what he calls 'The Tomato Game'...
