							| e) should be  �a joint of meat �, or just  �a roast � The rest are fine. b) a crate is a big item. If you were buying say, 6 tomatoes, they would be in a packet. d) a vegetable patch is a space you have in the garden for growing your own vegetables. I �m afraid I can �t help you with f). Maybe a kettleload of passion? :) I �m looking forward to other suggestions... |  27 Apr 2014
