I usually "sweat" all my soup veg in olive oil first anyway...are you saying that I need to add some more olive oil whilst soup is simmering away?

I sweat them too ( no nastiness being said here really). I do add a little olive oil when simmering si senora M, to give it some extra goodness.

I'd love to know what you mean by that. What is the link between the two? If the thread has become tedious for you I can understand, but it doesn't mean it is for others(though this one isn't my cup of tea). It is the Lounge after all. The Drawing room is there for more serious debate.


Anyway as I'm here, my contribution:


How to Burn Toast


Insert one or two slices of bread into a toaster


Turn the temperature up to max


Wait until smoke rises from the toaster/or toast pops up


Remove burnt toast and scrape to taste

Love it Declan...but don't go away...please


Do I presume you are Irish? If so, do you have an authentic recipe for colcannon please...you know, something which your mum would have made as opposed to a Delia (no disrespect to Delia) recipe please?

I think all kids do...my mum (French) used to make all these exotic French dishes which we didn't appreciate at the time, but bottom line was we too always preferred egg and chips...or sod the eggs...just chips. Ah, mum's chips...nothing like them.


Erm...being half Irish, don't suppose you have an authentic recipe for colcannon? And what is coddle? Actually, I'll go and google coddle.

Here it is: http://www.scotlandforvisitors.com/recipes/irishcoddle.php. Looks easy enough (take note brum);-).

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
