“If you say ‘Our perry is made from fresh-plucked pears only,’ then it’s got to be made from pears only, or the statement is actionable; if you just say it is made ‘from pears,’ without the ‘only,’ the betting is that it is probably made chiefly of pears; but if you say, ‘made with pears,’ you generally mean that you use a peck of pears to a ton of turnips, and the law cannot touch you–such are the niceties of our English tongue.”

  1. Make turnip wine.
  2. As you bottle it, dump in extra yeast and sugar.

Emma continues with the grudging, the criticising, the catastrophising and the general Whinge.
