Thursday’s Responses
Hit the apple with a pithy one-liner on the issue written on it and win
a prize. Please make it short and to the point.
Responses will be published daily and winners named every Friday.
Try to spare the head on which the apple rests but if readers really want to do otherwise, so be it. But, we reserve the right to edit responses to keep them within the confines of decency and the law.
Entries may be sent to

market only to be directed to the tutory next door for a lesson in the
economics of food pricing – "Pay more eat less" …shoot!
* Hold your fire! …. I have lost the taste for cheap food.
* Follow the arrow … chances are you’ll end up at the canteen of the
abode by the Diyawanna.
