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.

    • This is horrible to hear about. We used to get daily Police patrols on foot & even regular patrols on horseback in the area. I know our local station had some bad eggs, but the officers I came across in the area back then were all a fantastic bunch. Sadly nowadays the Met's presence is non-existent, bar the weekly walk from the SNT. I hope something gets done, arrests made and the victim some genuine support and counselling.   
    • Two wrongs don't make a right. Labour ran on a manifesto of "we aren't like them" and "we are different" and"you can trust us/we will restore faith in politics". They are doing nothing to convince anyone that any of those promises are being met - they are letting everyone down. u-turning on everything and are fast-tracking the doomsday scenario of a Reform government. Even the runway on the "it's all the Tories fault" is running out. I dislike politicians because they cannot be trusted and Rayner just highlighted that with ribbons on. She should have been so careful after the focus on the electoral roll issues she had with the house in Ashton-under-Lyne and then under a year later this comes up. Clearly the advice she took included a recommendation to take proper advice that she failed to do - that's just daft and the most galling thing is that she didn't just resign when this came up - she tried to spin out of it but must have known she was toast. Trust is fast being eroded. I desperately want Labour and Starmer to fix this because the alternative it too scary to think about but the way things are going they are fast-tracking Farage into No.10. Labour are letting us all down.  
    • Same can be said for the current and prior governments 
    • Good afternoon, We are looking for a gardener to tidy up our climbing rose. It is very high, so the work will require someone with a tall ladder. can you please recommend anyone?  thanks s
