Does anyone know where you can get one of those pinch of salt measurers/dispensers? I like to follow recipes exactly when I cook so need to have correct amounts of ingredients. I enquired at that shop on LL but they looked befuddled when I asked, but I do like shopping locally if possible.

Do you mean something like this : https://thisismold.com/object/kitchenware/alessi-pizzico-pinch-of-salt#.X3TiiB7TU0M ?


Not sure if it's something you can get locally but I'm sure if you show a local shop this then they can either order one for you or worst case scenario you may have to go online to order it

Are they young people in that shop on LL? If so, they probably don't know what a pinch of salt means, either literally or as an actual action!


The Daily Mail had an article today about words that people aged 18-30 years didn't know the meaning of (of bygone sayings)! 40 per cent didn't know what 'sozzled' meant.

Someone always has to ruin a potentially good thread with a dose of reality.

I suppose if you can't put your forefinger and thumb together you're in trouble when cooking

Sorry I'm sure ! Lol


Was Bob trying to ironic in his initial post because if he was then I obviously failed to take it with the pinch of salt he is after.


But Alan m , please don't rub salt in to my wounds for missing the gag 😱 as I now feel like I've been asSALTed !

Great, it goes against my credo of local shopping for local people, but I'll have a look. How big are those splash of milk jugs?

Slightly smaller than the dash of milk jugs

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
