Phew; that's pretty comprehensive; sorry about that. There's one or two others, not listed, that after reviewing were a bit "meh" and there's the odd one or two, that's let's face it, if they weren't signed would have been down the local charity/thrift shop just in time for Christmas. (No names mentioned.)

Give back the lemons.  Why were the lemons free?  What's wrong with the lemons?
