MrM would like to apologise for his cryptic comment.He suffers from Smartypants Syndrome
and sometimes it gets out of control.
Here is the information you need:
In the country there is a legend
that the Devil spits on the blackberries
on the last day of September
and so you must not pick them in October.
But of course...
it was a DIFFERENT SORT of BlackBerry
that he was playing with.

How easy it is to misunderstand words when there is more than one meaning!!
Oh it's making my head hurt...it's not October though...so Mr M could have eaten the blackberries while using his Blackberry, no?
Mr M's words have out-foxed me...but I'm so pleased to see that you, Alice, can be relied upon to have a lovely photo handy to illustrate a point(even if one of your readers is too brain-addled to join all the dots up!)!

Someone spat in my jam ingredients? Suddenly, my toast seems less appealing...
On every single blackberry?!?
The last day of September must be a loooong day on the devil's calendar...
I love that legend
But do not love the Blackberry (aka crackberry or cracko) - the bane of my existence.
Ohhhh. I read in a novel that in Cornwall, legend has it that Cornish witches do a really-not-nice watery thing on them, and that's why you can't eat blackberries after September. Devil's spit sounds pretty good compared to that.
gms - no names, no pack drill is my advice ;-)
