Fascinating to see your temperature stats, Witchy...down in Surrey we've already had several below 10°C...right down to 6°C on the night of the 24th/25th. Even dipping below 10° in the unheated greenhouse! Brrr...it's cold down South!
Actually NiC, now that I think harder, I think we may have had one cooler night, around the August Bank Holiday Monday when it poured incessantly with rain and was soggy and miserable. But September has been so good that I'd quite forgotten that. We do have a weird microclimate here.

We've been down to 5 or 6 a couple of mornings recently.
I saw the report on the Sainbugs poster and thought that perhaps it was a deliberate mistake by someone in-store, fed up with being told to meet daft targets.

GoodTwin - me too - I'm intrigued to know how staff are meant to get people to spend 50p more... I can imagine conversations at the checkouts along the lines of, "I see you've bought bread today, would you like butter or spread with that?" I must remember to ask Cleaner BW (who works there part-time) when I next see her.

We have had several freezing mornings here already. The flowers are stunning BW and it would be a shame to pull them before their time. Maybe supermarket wants everyone to buy the bruised damaged mouldy fruit and veg for 50p?
