Oi! Put that blackberry down! Step away from the bramble... slowly... slowly...
 |
| Put it down, now. No, not in your mouth. Step away from the bramble. |
Michelmas (September 29th) is the day that Saint Michael chased Lucifer out of heaven. As everyone knows when the Devil fell out of heaven he landed on a prickly blackberry bush.
Angered by this turn of events the Devil cursed the blackberries. It is also said that every Autumn after Michelmas he spat or urinated on them.

If someone offers you a slice of blackberry crumble beware... it could be cursed...
