I tried to send a PM and got a message that my storage was 100% full. So I spent about ten minutes deleting stuff, and it's still telling me my storage is 100% full! Is something wrong with the system?

Prince Albert, MP? OK the name probably makes it worth a visit, but still .....

I still find it quite strange that she did as there were not many black people in London at that time, plus going by some comments they made my parents (white) were quite racist :-$ ETA: Actually I think it just walked, not talked. It might have cried when you tipped it up :)

Oh OK, sorry if I missed your point. I know that the swastika originally represented something completely different before it was appropriated by the Nazis, and I have seen swastikas painted on walls in India which have nothing to do with Nazism, for example alongside pictures of Ganesh. But I'm not sure that a Golliwog is quite the same thing. Anyway, as you were, because I'm not quite sure what your point is so I'm clearly having one of my many brain-dead moments.

Had his version been nice to eat, even though not what I was expecting, that would have been different, but it wasn't. I couldn't even eat it all, it was rubbish. It was very prettily piled up on the plate with a sprig of baby tomatoes on top of it, however. Don't really care what he thinks of me for suggesting he reads a Nigel Slater recipe (not Jamie!) either. Stuffed Goose - :)) - not the first time that joke has been made, and probably won't be the last :))

Well I'm not Jewish, nor am I a member of one of the other minority ethnic (and other) groups pursued by the Nazis, and I would be extremely horrified/offended if somebody was displaying swastikas in ED!

They did say they had done it in an oven - but there was no sign of any butter or oil, and no sign of any crispiness on any side whatsoever. Just a mound of mash. Not even slight browning of the mash. Apart from small brown bits inside the mash, which I assume were bits of old roast potatoes, however even those bits weren't crispy. Maybe it was a microwave oven :)) To be fair, they did offer to give me something else, but that wasn't the point really, anyway I was starving! Anyway, I shall be taking them round the recipes and see what the outcome is .....

ffs we're talking about birds :))

It has been very slow today, but not nearly as slow as it has sometimes been in the past. I agree - it's one of the slowest sites I regularly use, too.

Of course I'm not going to involve Trading Standards, don't be so bloody stupid :)) And I don't want my money back. I just want Franklins to cook bubble how it's supposed to be cooked, to which end I am going to take them round some recipes :)) ETA: I've just re-read your post, and if you weren't intending to be sarcastic, then I apologise.

No idea if anything would come up, but worth a try maybe?

HonaloochieB Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > What Franklins do is not B&S, it's vegetables. xxxxxxx But my point is, it is described as bubble on the menu, not as - for example - "mashed potato mixed with cooked bits of cabbage and formed into a lukewarm mound on the plate".

Franklins does it with poached eggs, mushroom and tomatoes. Would have been very nice if only the bubble had been crispy on the outside!

Cooked some chicken. Tied it to a string. Taddies didn't exactly flock but a few started nibbling. Some of them seemed to prefer the string to the chicken :)) B**** cat then arrived and made a beeline for the tub, whether attracted by water, taddies or chicken who knows. Quick shower from the hosepipe saw him off, but he'll be back. My screen of sharp sticks proving totally useless as a deterrent, I will now have to net the tub I think. Re the name of the thread, I think it's fine as it is .... "Nature" covers it all really. Some posts talk about flowers, trees AND creatures, would be a bit fiddly to try to divide it all up?

Thyme? Not sure I fancy that in bubble ....

Yeh, I'd leave out the bars and the Vale, and add Hoopers, the Gowlett and the Victoria Inn. Wouldn't personally bother with the Herne, for various reasons, not least that it's geographically out on a limb apart from the Clock House. I'd say the Hoopers/Gowlett/Victoria trio would be more satisfying than the Clock House and the Herne. ETA: The Montpelier is in that area, as well.

Sorry as I am for the falcon, it was quite amusing when the display ended almost before it had begun. Hope they managed to get it back. I thought it was two birds which had gone AWOL, for some reason?
