One can only suppose that the definition of "peach" can, for the purposes of Tesco Value, be astonishingly broad...

You can count to 1024 using your fingers (and thumbs) without splitting them up into sections.

It isn't. I always look somewhere else once I've found whatever I've lost just to ruin this joke.
