The shops are full of them, both real and artificial and the papers have articles about how to recycle them and loads of "fun" recipes for all manner of unlikely pumpkin based meals - Chocolate pumpkin fondue anyone? None of this of course successfully disguises the fact that they are completely tasteless and indigestible. They may be highly nutritious but this is in no way a redeeming feature.
Now many years ago my father in his infinite wisdom had an allotment and decided for reasons best known to himself to grow the accursed vegetable mentioned in the previous paragraph, however they always seemed to vanish from the plant mysteriously just before they matured.
I think with the passage of time I can now safely reveal that me and my brother discovered that pumpkins make an ideal substitute for a cricket ball...especially when using a garden spade in lieu of a bat (the cricket kind not the Mister Squeaky kind)
