Stupid little things that bug you

We’d get a huge sack of spuds delivered back in the seventies, can’t remember the weight, 50lb maybe. Was probably just a week’s worth though in our house. Hardly eat them now.

New potatoes don’t taste the same anymore either.
think they were 56lb for some reason, my old man used to rock up from work every couple of weeks with one, a surprising number seemed to fall off the back of lorries...
 
They’re currently sold in 25kg sacks which is just over 55lb so maybe that’s right.
Yeah, a 56 lb sack o' spuds was the norm in them days. Thick brown paper, sewn at the top and when empty my dad used to cut it up into strips and use them as fire lighters.
