Badly is the answer
No mate, I don't care what you grow. If you are buying a packet of seeds from a Southern producer then they will be labelled as swedes. Supermarkets insist on doing this too. But that doesn't mean that to people in the North East and Soctland they're not turnips. Because a southerner (or southern producer or retailer) is using a different definition doesn't make their definition right and ours wrong.
Probably been nobbled by cockneys and EU technocrats. Use your poncey Southern terms, see if I care.
I use a Scottish seed for the Swedes I grow.
Gowrie is the name.
Look it up Marra.
"Swede" is short for "Swedish Turnip", which is a cross between a "normal" turnip and something else. The Swedes call them "rutabaga".
Oh aye forgot about thatWe did aye and it must have been a dardun thing but didn't we call them black, or jack shiney Maggies?
Just been talking about Halloween with the eldest. Anyway he’s just stared at me in disbelief and laughed his tits off when I told him that we used turnips instead of pumpkins when I was a kid. In fact I’m sure I never even saw a one in real life till at least 1990 or summit. You simply couldn’t buy them in supermarkets over here could you? Someone back me up

This. never, ever saw a pumpkin apart from on Charlie Brown`s Great Pumpkin Special. It was always turnips over here until recently.Was always turnips. I never had a pumpkin as a kid and neither did anybody else. Like you say, I didn’t even think you could buy pumpkins.
