Stevo, head honcho of the 80s record label Some Bizarre used to eat raw bacon, at least for a time.

I'd start dropping this into conversation with the punters to get a buzz sizzling.

Occaisionally murmur the words 'bacon tartare' with a faraway look in your eyes, accompany this with lip-smacking, stomach-rubbing and yummy noises.

But don't go over the top or the billies'll think you're taking the p!ss, and you don't want that.


Good luck.

Damn it! Well.....you seem to have disqualified yourself and I provided a handy Argos link so I reckon I'm claiming it!

Install a lovely wood-burning stove (for smokeless zones) with a rear-mounted flue.


Light stove, and get some chunky logs going, to get warm and toasty.


With a rear-mounted flue, you can cook bacon - or anything else - on the top of the stove. While still sitting on your sofa. :)

Just made me laugh so hard something snapped. Not sure if foundation garment or ligament - am investigating...

Dumling have you ever tried ,Country dumplings, they are really tasty. You stuff the dumplings with a mixture of minced beef , onion,tomato puree, paprika,that has been simmered in a pot previously, the dough used has got yeast in it instead of suet. It is all put on a layer of gravied vegatables then cooked in the oven, The dumplings look like cobblers, I havent cooked it , but have ate it. Good British classic.
No Hal I cheated, watched my cousin cook it, while helping to wallpaper a room. It was really tasty, so I told her to write the basics down to post it here, but Im afraid I lost the second note. I thought someone could fill the gaps in. She said she will cook hash brownies next time, But I dont know what they are.

Brtish dumplings are one of the finest things in the universe. Savoury ones, not sweets. A good stew with dumplings.


I don't really understand why they haven't caught on.


The Italians have got gnocchi that are broadly similar, but their reach extends far beyond their grasp.

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
