Thanks for that and yes they do taste bloody awful but having taken early retirement and looking after the 'pennies' thought that this would be cheap option re: xmas presents! Oh do I hate myself for becoming the man I have always despised!
Have been searching for days and days and tonight found 'Sloe heaven'! 6lbs in 30mins but there is this one crop of sloes that are the 'mothers' of all 'SLOES' but about 15ft up! I want this Sloe so badly! What should I do?
