... and not just what is a tangerine, satsuma or mandarin.

Advice needed.

I like to scoff a few of the little fellas, at this time of year, but limit mesel to 3 at a time. As we're close to Spain the local shop sells lovely fresh ones, with leaves attached which I love.

My dilemma is that now and again I'll really enjoy the first two and look forward to tucking into the third. Sadly it will sometimes be a real disappointment ...

... dry, tasteless or bitter.

So now I've had my self-allotted three but don't want to finish on a low note. I'd be hoping for a great number 4 but what happens if I get a repeat of number 3 ffs!

I'd then be in the uncharted territory of piling in for number 5 <doh>

I'm not medically trained but I'm envisaging the possibility of a dose of the shytes ...

... I'm struggling here tbh.

Think you need to approach Boris on this one Smug, he has a background of solving unsolvable dilemmas or so I've heard.
Don't think he'd mind cos he hasn't much on the go at present.
Just a thought.:emoticon-0100-smile

Growing up in a pit village it was drummed into us never to waste food, so the option of throwing away number 3 creates a bigger dilemma. If number 4 is then as bad, or worse, I could be in a position of throwing away half of those I've chosen.

It's a fucxing nightmare <doh>
