Those are what I call PROPER mangoes.

What's the best way to cut mangoes? Last time I got some of the yellow ones I cut all around lengthways through to the stone, but just could not get the flesh off the stone! Think maybe the fruit was too ripe? It just ended up being a mushy mess and I ended up throwing it away!

Cut two parallel lines lengthways right through the Mango each side of the stone.

One at a time put each outer segment into the palm of your hand and then with a non-sharp knife cut across and lengthways (without going through the skin) so that you have segments about 2cms square.

You can either eat these straight off the skin, or scrape them off with a spoon into a bowl.

The middle section with the stone, you need to peel off the skin and then remove as much of the flesh as you can with teeth or spoon.

sorry Graham48, will be more sensitive in future posts. To be fair when my little boy asked handed me a satsuma and asked me to "take its coat off" I was there for him LOL. Now about your current situation, one of my mahals best mates in Puerto Princesa has worn out (sorry fell out) with her Ausie partner ( he found a very young one) and is keen to get back on the dating market. She has her own beauty salon so get on a plane and go and get some free personal massages ... I will see if I can find a piccy to post hehehehehehehe
