Does sound like a dirty sort of word, doesn't it?

Scrumping. Scrumping... Scrum...ping...

Sounds dirtier the more you say it.

I hear the Kiwi's like to leave a deposit....

But yeah, bizarrely, despite being on the Kent and Sussex Border (seriously, I live in Kent, two minutes walk up the Road is Sussex) we actually have quite big Sweetcorn Fields kicking about, and I don't really have any qualms about yoinking a couple of cobs now and again. I try not to actually enter the Farm itself, as I suspect I'd be quite offended by a buttock full of buckshot. Otherwise, in Summer and Autumn (even Spring, if you know where to look) there's lots of Orchards and that offering temptingly free Apples, Oranges, Cherries etc.

It's a bit like Pick Your Own (a quaint British tradition) where you tend to eat at least one Strawberry for everyone you stick in the Punnett.

Now, if only I could find out where they grow the Spuds, I'd be set! Turnips too.

You can get spuds in my back garden, just beware the toe-poppers set out for the neighbours cat!

They still do pick your own in Kent? I thought you had Poles to do that for you?

It's still out there! Quite good fun as well.

I don't scrump because the vegetables and the fruits are worth it.
