Christmas cake

[Beef Oven!]

You are Uncle Monty and I claim my £5

Monty:

I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh-so-very special about a firm, young carrot.

There's something a bit pervy about that, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

No, I've not eaten a mince pie yet, but I'm not sure that the christmas cakes will survive until Christmas
