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.

    • Plastic flower pots full stop, have so many of them and most go into the recycling rather than being reused.
    • Flower pot sizes. Even ones that look as if they should fit together don't . Same with the saucers that go underneath them. Why aren't they standardised? GRRRRR. I made the mistake of starting to clear out my loft (I still have a pre-gentrification type loft). Now my (pre-gentrification type) kitchen is filled with zillions of flower pots and saucers. I am so irrationally enraged that I need to sit down with a nice cup of tea. I've just put the kettle on.
    • hah ha! On the subject of dodgy keys and also police protocol with stolen cars, my first car was a 1969 mini which you could open and start by wiggling a small flat-headed screwdriver. No wonder it was stolen. About a week later the police called to say they'd spotted it on the Dog Kennel Hill estate opposite East Dulwich station. In those days parking was free so at least I didn't receive any tickets, but I surprised the police just left a message with the address and expected me to go and pick it up. I was slightly worried I'd have to tackle the culprits myself when I arrived.
    • Great pub, great deals and great service! Food is second to none Highly recommend 👌
