My son had a Nissan Cherry, called in the family The Wok - it was past its best, is the kindest way of describing it! Duncan lived in Colchester, and was the Head Wine Waiter at a local top restaurant, and was travelling home after a late shift, at about 2.00 am, only to be stopped for speeding.

Hi All, We had a chat some time ago about Kiwi fruit but now I've forgotten a very important part of it. We have a vine in our back yard and it is covered with kiwis. These are the smaller ones than the ones we find in the grocery store - they're about the size of the end of DHs thumb.
