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!

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
