Turnip or swede? The assistant knew what he was talking about

Vin Malone’s letter on Friday, February 8, entitled turnip or swede asked just what are our children taught at school.

Well Vin, did you mean the orange fleshed swedes or the white fleshed turnips?

As the assistant produced the swedes and you were happy with them you must have meant the orange fleshed swede, in which case the assistant knew what he was talking about.

Still on the subject is it stew or ash your wife was making? Just wondering.
