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.

There is one of those Pizzico pinch of salt things on eBay for a mere ?22.39 ......

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?

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
