Just to reassure you that Greengrocer's Apostrophe's are alive and thriving in Leeds.

Please tell me that's three packages of strawberries for £1, and not three strawberries for £1.

This isn't Tashkent you know, a pound does stretch further than three strawberries ;)

They're punnets of strawberries.

Full Definition of PUNNET
British
: a small basket for fruits or vegetables

neat

Comes from 'pun' which was an old word for pound.

Any relation to the word "pint?" That's how our strawberry packages are measured.

Pints a Pound, the World Around.

pint, punt, punnet, whatever.

it's clear to me though, that you guys have a very different meaning for "pick your own" than we do over here.

Not really, market stalls have adopted the term in order to imply freshness and customer choice.
It makes them look more honest, as it means they're not selecting the mankiest ones and bundling them into a bag so you get home before you realise.

Pick your own is generally understood to be picking growing fruit at a farm. Although we probably have a shorter growing season than much of the US.
Note, the strawberries in the picture are not English. I hold out for the real thing (Waitrose do them best, and I'm not saying that because I used to work there).
Raspberries should be Scottish, ideally, strawberries English and apples French.

On a tangent, when I was 14-15 I worked at a pizza restaurant and one of the Managers was called Punit, he was a real stickler for detail. We called him Strawberry behind his back, because we were still schoolgirls and didn't really want a profession in the hospitality sector.

Noted.

Then it may be added to the list of mestakes on menu's.

We (in the biz) call the plastic punnets "clamshells" here. And sell them by imperial weight. 1lb strawberries is $2.50 this week. 3 sweet Mangoe's/$1. Both are on "Sale" /Special Offer this week. No such thing as the consumer protection act here. They never need be "regular" price anywhere. Strawbs are on "Sale" pretty much every week. and mangoes. and pineapples.

If you order a steak medium, and it comes well done...

...is that a missteak?

That is bad LOL

They use that pun in some of the promo literature for our store. This thread has become like a busman's holiday for me
