That's beyond shocking, really.

I mean, imagine not knowing where to use an apostrophe.

It's nice to feel there is still hope.

One of those 'are you an optimist or a pessimist' tests.

Clearly they forgot about blackberries and redcurrants

[Felicity, I guess so]

White currants
oranges...limes...

[Sporting]

lemons

[WOM]

Red apples....green apples...I mean, there must be tons.

[3 Colours Red]

[Patrick Thistle]

Also greengages

[Janik]

Red apples - the name of the fruit here is 'apple'. The red is a descriptor of the particular apple.

Lemon, Lime, Orange - could be colours named after fruits, rather than fruits named after colours. Would need to know the etymology here (I suspect orange is colour first, the others fruit first)

Blackberries, redcurrants and greengages - definitely counts

Blueberries are properly called Bilberries anyway.

Different species I think. If you mean the bilberries that are also called winberries.

[Balderdasha]

Also blackcurrants.

Yeah...I was just doing a bit.

Blueberries are properly called Bilberries anyway.

No, they look and taste quite different. Blueberries are larger, even the wild varieties, than bilberries and grow in low-lying flat pastoral land. Bilberries OTOH grow on moorland. They're smaller and darker than blueberries, with a sharper flavour. My Dad, who grew up in the Peak District and ate bilberries regularly, was deeply disappointed in blueberries when he came to Canada as he expected them to be fatter bilberries but found them really bland.

[Janik]

I thought that was just the factory farming aspects - wild fruit is often smaller and tastes stronger than the pumped up with extra water supermarket ready variants. But OK, having looked it up it seems they are very closely related plants but not the same one.

[Capybara]

Lemon and lime aren't colours.

Unless you work in the dressmaking industry during the early 1970s.

Yeah, one of my childhood memories is going bilberry picking with my Dad on Otley Chevin near Leeds (pretty steep and high, unfarmed, terrain).

[Gangster Octopus]

We used to pick them on Muncaster Fell.
