I know the shops - three in a row - and they're owned by really nice people. They've been selling those peaches - which *are* exceptionally delicious although they look as if they've been sat on - for at least three years now. What poor old Appleyard doesn't seem to realise is that they're now being sold in every other greengrocers stall and even non-posh grocery stores. Bad luck! “Desperate Snob”?
