I worked some years ago with a homeless man who was admitted to hospital but had nowhere to rehabilitate. He was placed as a temporary resident in a local care home as it was the middle of winter and since he was in his 70/80s it was the only solution available at the time. Even though he knew I was contacting various agencies (St Mungo etc)to find him a hostel place, he decided that after a few days regaining his strength and having 3 meals a day, he preferred to live on the streets. An outreach team agreed to keep an eye on him.

Confused.Com..........".Benevides's attorney said that tabloid reports of an estate worth $32 million were an overestimate. ".......that suggests that Raymond still left a tidy sum to his sole beneficiary or am I confusing Fact with Fiction here?

Fiction, I am mixing real life in Dulwich with a 1970s TV programme. Glad to hear that the star of a series that portrayed disabled people positively did well, although I expect he was able bodied (and clearly died years ago). But I do love a bit of trivia and better gem up on this sort of thing for when I am Pointless or Millionaire. What was the other programme I was thinking about?

I knew he played Ironsides without even Googling.

    • Another bakery staple in days gone by - bread pudding. Place bakers(?) where Harry's is now always used to sell big chunks of this. I think Morrisons also used to sell it in a packet of 2 slices. Are bakeries now just dumping their unsold bread? I make bread pudding regularly - use reduced bread from supermarkets ( loaf cost me 22p) and last time made 3 batches one for us plus two for friends.
    • Went to thee Viet place in LL some time ago and got charged £9 for a pot of tea  Hubby paid bill and did not notice that they had overcharged. Frequently go past the old Moulin restaurant- rarely see people in it. No indication whether they are providing meals as no menu outside (unless they have pit it up in last few days) Got impression that it was a wine bar only. Love Dulwich is usually busy between 12 - 2 pm when they have their lunch time specials  not been there in evening or weekends. 
    • They're a supplement, usually made from whey, which are used after weight training. The theory is that weight training tears the muscle fibres (Feel The Burn, No Pain No Gain, etc), protein helps repair this and aid lean muscle growth. The faster you can get protein into your system, the better, so obviously liquids are absorbed faster than solids Beans, poached egg or peanut butter on toast, are pretty typical post training meals to achieve the same thing. They're much like a very thin milkshake or Slim fast, so nothing anabolic. I used them when I was training three or four times a week and the results were pretty good, if I do say so myself.   Cross-post with Ianr
