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.

    • Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents. 
    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
