Just opened the December issue of the KG magazine, and was totally shocked when I got to the "Last word" page....I'll leave you all to read it....
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Well done that man, won by the marrowest of margins.
In this case size did count and yours was 4 3/4inches bigger than mine. Mine had a curl at the end that I couldn't get straight

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

So glad that Old Codger won.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

He put a X in the no publicity box for fear of being inundated with requests for seed donations.
I know for a fact Curcubit Weakly magazine have offered large sums for exclusive interview rights

Congratulations OH. Pity we didn,t get a photo of you triumphially holding your winner like anglers who have caught the biggest fish. I reckon you must be going anonymous to avoid all those emails from foreign ladies who are desirous of your assets. Or maybe you’re worried the burglars will come round and steal it. Cook is obviously going to be busy, unless you’re planning to use it as a doorstop!

I once worked with a girl, Suzy, who one could never "sexually harass" - she gave as good as she got. When I gave her a rather thin marrow and suggested she could make "Stuffed marrow a la Suzy" she studied it for a moment and replied "I think I'll do stuffed Suzy a la marrow"!

I take it the man that reported it, wasn't much of a gardener....
