I bloody love onions, I tell thee.
Whenever I go in a shop there’s several onions, more than enough for everyone in there. I reckon the world works in roughly the same scale, so will say 5-10 onions per person worldwide. Let’s go 7.

People don’t eat onions at Christmas, New Year’s or the weird in-between bit. If there is ever a stage where onions outnumber people in our realm, it is during the dying days of the current year.

Wonder if he’s any relation to Graeme

That’s why the government do a lot of pro-onion advertising in early spring, to deal with the onion surplus
