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.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
