Plump and firm like a Thomas Hardy milkmaid. That's an oyster apparently.

Unless they are bigoted piss artists or uncouth Northerners or some other stereotypical demographic with intrinsic comedy value television chefs (like estate agents) should be banned from using simile and metaphor and only be given a limited dispensation to use some basic and necessary grammatical modifiers.


I don?t actually have a clue who you lot are on about but thought I would offer my tuppence worth.


This is about a television chef isn?t it?

Sorry in advance for the unimaginative fisking - yes I am with you, I like that concept too. I haven't read that one so thanks for the tip.

Thats absolutely spot on! I wonder if she even tastes the food. Nigella on the other hand, would be very up for that!

I meant in the smack over the head with a frying pan sense. Tom & Jerry Style. Kind of.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
