Like the first stage of a cake mix? Interesting.


At home we used to make a bowl of icing (butter, icing sugar and maybe cocoa powder) and eat that. Frankly the idea makes me heave now.

As a kid if there was no cake in the house I'd have a spoonful of porridge oats, immediately followed by a few raisins & sultanas and wash it down with milk, convincing myself this was essentially the same thing.


These days I could call it "deconstructed" I guess.

I have appalling table manners at home and wouldn't hesitate to lick the plate clean, but reusing teabags?!?! There's nothing worse than a weak cuppa.

My wife's brother - in his bachelor days - would sometimes order a couple of large pizzas from Pizza Hut, and it would last him a couple of days. He'd leave them on the side (unrefrigerated) and eat it cold.

Oh yeh, my mum did that.


But I wasn't allowed to eat raw sausages, because she claimed it would give me worms.

Back in 1969 I was on block release at Lewisham College Lewisham Way.


Opposite was a Cafe that did the most amazing Pasties with thick crusty pastry.. Lots of brown sauce.

They sold Dozens of them at break time.


One time I needed the loo which was outside in the yard. There was 2 Large dustbins full with empty Kit-e-Kat tins.


Never put off though..

Ah, but I love my tea sans milk and weak enough so you can see the china on the inside of the cup. Not keen on letting the Assam out.

Most prolific in posting about it, anyway, but quite a few others here seem more extreme. Don't think any of mine would raise much comment if someone else happened to walk in.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
