well thank you for the laugh - my erstwhile MIL who cooked us Christmas dinner just the once - did this. She was up at 4 to get the turkey in, the size of a capon (remember those) till it was quite desiccated then piled all the flesh up on a white plate, I suppose now it would be 'pulled turkey' 'while getting the sprouts on' to get them out of the way. Then she tipped them into a colander and pressed them with a potato peeler with all her might to remove the moisture they had just spent 45 mins soaking up - sprouts dear? - no thanks!

I was as though she hated them and was teaching them a lesson. Just wanted to share (vent)


My mother had a pressure cooker, for Christmas Puddings and leek soup, not at the same time mercifully, the most terrifying noise, hiss and rattle, contrasted with my MIL slow cooker, quiet and deadly.


OMG where did I put my therapists phone number

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
