You never heard of a grocer’s apostrophe?
Granddad used to grow 20 acres of spuds, mostly marfonas and estimas but also red York’s and king Edwards. He used to manage to sell all of them either at the gate or at the local car boot for 5 pound 25kg, we still have all the kit and I was wondering what the legalities of doing this now is? We used to feed all the little spuds to the stores so was quite handy... does anyone still do it?

I hate dirty spuds sorry . those Fen Spuds are black as coal
Sorry about that old boy musta got a bag of stock feed by mistake.last bag of dirty potatoes I bought were a disgrace.
Showed me a lovely sample when I got home and unzipped the bag a realised why no one buys from farm gate
he had really seen me coming.
Worse thing was we had quite a chat about the trade and such and I was feeling sorry for him!
if he was on this forum I would certainly name him!
My wife buys all washed today and I moan at the price

I knew a few old boys that try this trick with everyone, and then wonder why they can't sell anything

I think he saw my Range Rover with Suffolk plates, as an opportunity not to be missed
