PICK YOUR OWN FRUIT

Our Crab Apple tree has dropped its fruit all over the front garden – it looks very untidy, and the scattered tiny apples keep getting squashed.

I asked Wilson whether he'd mind clearing them up for me and, to my surprise, he said, 'Okey-Dokey – no problemo, ND!'

 

Some time later I found that he had set up a Pick Your Own Crab Apples stall and left Dave and Uncle Zoltan in charge of it.

 

More accurately it should have been described as a Pick UP Your Own Crab Apples, as customers were expected to gather their apples from where they'd fallen on the ground.

 

I think W has failed to notice that nearly every other garden round here also has a Crab Apple tree, which might have cut into his sales somewhat.
