the cucumber  must have had Bozo for his lawyer...apparently he wasn't guilty  and here's me had him down as a repeat offender

heya jesuslove, maybe the cucumbers are part of the rapture, not as dramatic as revelations led us to believe but effective.

lololol hell fire

Well I have a large cucumber in the fridge and I've  eaten a quarter of it so far,no ill effects,so i'll keep on chomping.

Beansprouts grown in the Hamburg area are now thought to be the source of the outbreak

I wonder if Germany will be as quick to compensate Spanish growers as they were to blame them for this outbreak?

I doubt it, Pengy.  They should have looked closer to home

I didn't see any cucumbers this morning in Tesco. 

That was pretty outrageous what they did,trying to deflect the blame etc without absolute proof,hope the Spanish hammer them.

 Yes, the fear spread faster than the facts.

true Ev   lots and lots of cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce were destroyed as a result and considering the financial state Spain is in, what with needing an EU loan, this could hurt them further.

S'k they'll be back tomorrow and all Chinese salads and stir-fry produce will be gone 

Definately hurt them, so unfair.

I think Spain are looking into finding where the real source of the E-coli actually came from. 

I read this morning that all the farmers can do is sit back and watch as thousands of kilograms of produce, that took so much time and money to grow are picked and pulped for fertiliser.
