pretty, if you like that sort of thing, i don't obviously as something must be wrong. Took leaves to nursery today and the man said it was because we have had a cold snap, im not convinced, my applets are going black too, any ideas?

Could be apple scab

thanks wigwambam but it doesnt look like that, just brown patches in the mosaic pattern set out by the leaves. if you know what i mean. Also present on my tomatos and corgettes

i can't believe the apple has the same problem as the tomatoes and courgettes.

Where are your tomatoes/courgettes growing? could they be missing some nutrition? have you started feeding them yet? could it be some sort of rust or other fungal problem> is it just on the old leaves - if so rip them off and be nice to the plants and see what happens (not the apple obviously!)

the toms are in the ground, as are a couple of poorly performing corgettes, the ones with the brown spots are in big pots, they are doing better. will just wait and see i think, im not sure it is down to the weather though

I have got similar thing on my toms & courgettes. Starts off as brownish dots and then covers the whole leaves. Looks like something is sort of stripping the green bit of the leaf off to leave a kind of papery skeleton underneath.

yes, thats it!
