Default sharp strawberries....

Hi All,
I have some strawberry plants in my garden that are now in their 3rd and best year yet, they are very fruitfull and have taken over with their runners and seem to be doing very well. I have no idea what variety they are but i have had fruit from them since i put them in and it has been realy nice- untill this year.... the strawbs look realy nice and red , are a nice size and very juciy,but they a are quite sharp.
has any one got any ideas why? what causes it and is there any thing i can do to prevent it?
C.G.

The longer you leave the fruit on the plant the sweeter it becomes. Are you picking them too soon?
