More on Phil the Fruit

There's a little poster on the door of the shop with an article from one of the national papers - I think it was the News of the World - saying that Phil the Fruit is a retired motorcycle designer. Motorbikes to fruit and veg seems like quite a leap, but then I got talking to Mary Fellowes, who said she had known Phil years ago, when he worked for a big fruit and veg company in Hereford as a rep. "We used to get all our fruit and veg for the Cafe Royal from them," she said. Which is going back a bit - but it shows that Phil the Fruit does have previous experience to draw on.
