Do I have to declare this large gifted cucumber of thanks?

[ScribblyGum]

Unsure if there are rules regarding homegrown produce.

That is excellent. My trust now has a limit of £50 under which no declaration is needed. So I think you're probably safe. Unless I'm misjudging the scale and it's a cucumber the size of the Empire State Building.

I would just for the crack.

Had they rubbed the spines off?

I didn't even know that this topic existed.
I'm just place marking to see which way the thread goes. South

I reckon it’s unlikely it’s worth more than £50. I think our trust is £20 in which case...
It’s a very fine looking cucumber.

I was gifted a cabbage of copious gratitude. I ate it

You have to declare anything over £25 value gifted to you in my trust. I don’t think the cabbage was...

Spines???

The cabbage of copiousness gratitude

In Australia I was given a bag of crabs once

Bag o crabs?!

That's fancy!

Is it home-grown? Hang on to it if it is, it will be MUCH tastier than any shop-bought cue.
And while it is probably worth more than an 80p supermarket special it proably won't breach your trust limit.....

Our home grown cues have spines, it depends on the variety.

Nice cucumber, Op.
I think you'll get away with that one. However, this one would be questionable.....

All cucumbers have spines, they get knocked off in processing.

Most home grown ones have tougher skins and more seeds.

Bag of crabs sounds like a euphemism!

I always accept chocolates saying “I will share these with the department “, then try not to.

My area you have to declare everything! In the last 2 years I have declared a free sandwich (visit which gave us lunch) and a free charity football. Colleague declared homemade cheese.

Must give audit a laugh at least!

My word, what a very long cucumber

No Tartyflette I reckon this is a naturally smooth one.

Should I declare homemade black currant jam that was rather mouldy?
I took a photo of it for my CPD

I like that your car has a cucumber holder, that's very handy. I must keep that in mind next time we change ours.

To be honest, regardless of monetary worth, I'd probably be declaring it here, there and everywhere anyway. "Come everyone and behold the cucumber of thanks"

I've got rather a glut of cucumbers and courgettes and a dental appointment tomorrow.............Now you've got me thinking.

I misunderstood the context and thought you had a gifted cucumber. Was rather hoping to find out what special powers said cucumber had to make it so talented, and thinking that of course you’d have to declare such a rare and unusual present.

Then the penny dropped. Have to say, I’m disappointed!

Hmm, dfil had a rather large homegrown cucumber at the weekend that he was particularly proud of.

He also has a habit of foisting veg on unsuspecting visitors whether they like it or not.

If it's him, bad news - he's got a sterling crop of tomatoes coming....

Oh no the sad CPD face at the mouldy jar of jam.

Laughing at the gifted cucumber. It does times tables.

I've been back to my cucumber and given it a rub and it does have some nobbly bits on so they must have kindly rubbed the spines off before the gifting.

What the chuff is HCP chat?
Is it always about cucumbers or are you allowed to discuss other salad vegetables?

Huge Cucumber Page.

Obviously.

Although the last post from op makes me think I've stumbled into some niche sex talk.
