Thank you, offical cake photographer!


Though I would have preferred red and white of course!


That icing - notwithstanding being the colours of a team currently positioned seventh (*snigger*) in the premier league tables - was absolutely delicious. Yum!

Not as lucky as 3! Which is where man U are at present!!!!



The photographer? Ah tres bon! Je m'en r'appelle maintenant. Trop de Sambuca hier soir...mais que c'est delicieux...ah oui! Aujourdhui...seulement de leau...


Comment va ta tete? Et ta jambe?

If everyone in the WI was like Helen Mirren I think I would be ok with it. I really enjoy "traditional feminine pursuits", jam making, sewing etc, but I also like getting raucously drunk and talking c*ck. I find these aspects of my personality had to reconcile in polite meetings.

Thank you for coming back Peckhampam - very helpful of you.


I'm all sorted now - should have updated this thread (sorry, I was in a bit of a tizz earlier). Cate, another forumite, came to the rescue on another thread (suggested vinegar). It worked! Bread out of oven and half eaten. Not sure if it is as it it meant to be - crusty base and top - but it's very tasty. Delicious in fact. Ate it warm with some garlic and herb butter and pumpkin soup.


Peckhampam, I should have said earlier, but the recipe already had bicarb in it. Would more bicarb still have been fine? (Just curious).


BTW, bread grew to about twice it's size - it's MASSIVE! Didn't expect that.


Once again, cheers for posting.

Well I like to cook but my home cooking seems to have diminished somewhat since we came to the UK, less free time on my hands I guess. Must try harder to change that.


And it was nice to meet you properly too, pity I had to bow out at the CPT but I had work the next day, sounds like it was a good night.

    • Hi, we're in a similar position with our old people carrier and did a look back at our usage and then looked at the costs for car clubs, taxis and car hire costs if we got rid of it. In our case the away trips to family, especially during school holidays, makes it cheaper to keep ours and pay ULEZ (the away trips is the big cost for hiring). We rarely use it for local trips and plan usage to aim for multiple purpose trips. We also share with our neighbours such as moving large items with our people carrier and share the ulez cost. Generally for low use alone it will not make financial sense to buy a newer car. Also, if you have a petrol car check its NOx output amount for ULEZ compliance as TFL wrongly categorised many older cars. Did this for neighbours 2001 car and it's ULEZ compliant when TFL originally said it was not (now fixed) and having the same issue with a 1997 petrol car.
    • you could investigate selling it. No Ulez outside London. Buses and trains? If you are that old you must have a Freedom Pass
    • The proof has always been in the pudding; and as regards Gala and Peckham Rye it has always demonstrated the opposite.  Fool us once, shame on you, fool us twice and thrice - shame on us.
    • I hope the organisers make a big deal about the cancellation of the Park Run. What is the council thinking? This is a private event that is now negatively impacting the wellbeing of residents in multiple ways. The council allege they are heavily invested in improving health and greening the environment.
