I could not resist commenting on this one as someone somewhere in the EU has surely seen sense! Why do apples have to be 2″ across? A three year old faced with a 3″ or over (thats 75mm+ for mainland Europe)  apple would probably balk at trying to eat the thing. Has no one thought to market them as children’s apples? I give you Chapples - an instant marketing name providing an immediate 20% increase n productivity .

And don’t start me on funny shaped carrots ( they would have to be censored no doubt before display (unless they are on the top shelf).

Just for once let’s cheer the rare appearance of common sense in euro-land

Paypal notification e-mail changes

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Registered users will be notified by email of any new download.

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Not been any time for blog writing this week or month! my apologies to my subscriber - Indeed I have just one! (thank you!). So I am encouraged to write something new.
I see that other voices are taking up one of my (not unique) ideas to turn the Post Office network into something we, the people, can use. See this post on nefs Triple Crunch Blog

Also no supported by Peter Mandelson as out lined here on BBC News

There are parts of the wordpress editor missing today I am actually having to write this in pure html - no additional tools seem to be available or work :( so I will give up for tonight and try again tomorrow.

I’ll try to get a new page of the book done too! Otherwsie it will take a literal year of Sundays
