Using that word is just not acceptable LM we've been over this before...


It's not pelmet it's valance or, if absolutely necessary, cornice board.

Forced out of retirement by a pathetic annuity, he'd found a job servicing obsolete agricultural machinery. No more farmhouse chats, though, these days. Instead, the gang masters of East Yorks and Lincs were his patch. Always the A road, always a room, always the same raised faces asking him for escape.


In the morning, a maid, not much younger than him. She sees the shoes by the wardrobe, the empty half-bottle of whisky on the counterpane. She sees the hotel stationery put to its first ever use: one envelope, propped up against the miniature kettle. "For Margaret".


She picks up the room phone and dials the head of housekeeping.


She sits on the bed and waits. Only then does she notice the ketchup stain on the torn net curtains. She understands, for the first time, that she hates this country.

Ketchup is superb on steak. If you get all fidgety about it, just order catsup.


Ketchup on its own on a bacon sandwich is just all out plain ridiculous - a bacon sandwich requires HP sauce, nothing more.


Unless you've run out of HP, in which case the first side of bread should be given a reasonable schmear of Colmans English Mustard and the second a layer of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.

It aint HP but it'll get you there.


Though I'm prepared to sometimes forego HP whenever I can source the Branston Dill Relish (available occaisionally from a 99p Shop near you), a few leaves of water cress and you have a salty-sweet-peppery treat that's hard to beat.


Though The Branston Dill aint a patch on the Bicks Cucumber Relish, not at all, still that's gone the way of smoking in pubs.


So, there we are.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
