a nut as a fruit has seeds in it, hence a tomato is a fruit and so is a marrow ? Does that make a female a fruit as she has seeds within, mind you my wife is a nut ... in a car.

Sorry. Mouthful. The very thing I tell the children not to do at mealtimes - shameful.

'Which bit of a coconut grows if you plant it?' Was what I meant to ask...
