Oh god, yes, Kings! Why can't you get them over here?


But I also like Ranchero's, and I've remembered Meanies just now too!


They had macaroon bars today, can you get Klipso's in the UK - if there was ever a way to ensure a near encounter with a dentist, it was with a Klipso :)


Is there anywhere around here that you can just go to the pub and order a toasted sandwich, rather than a bigger meal! I miss those types of comfort foods when out!!

CMCK83 that's hilarious! I've a big grin on my face - the Glenroe bit with the homework rings true :) And of course the byes x 100, I can't seem to get passed that myself :)


I've got to watch the others now!


There is definitely white pudding in the Irish shop, I got it the other day, it was yummy!! I may have ate too much of it!

"Get up tu fuCk" - I reckon that's my mother around the same time, making me 'put sin on her soul on a Sunday' in order to encourage me along to share in the Holy Sacrament.

Gran always went to St Anthony too - and gee, he made a fortune whilst all those prayers were said :) It makes me smile!


The emersion was another big thing at home too, and why have it on, if the fire was lighting, because that heated up the house anyway! Leading from that, I was like a yo-yo getting up/down from the couch, to put the damper in/out! Still don't understand the merits of that! Its like a reflex now when I visit home :)


The frying pan is about to go now, as I get the breakfast ready with sausages, rashers, pudding and brown bread from yesterdays purchases at the shop!


Actually I also bought flour for the first time, usually when I bake, my cakes look a bit limp - and I wondered if I bought the Odlums would it make a difference, and it has! The cakes look much better! I've no idea why, unless its the recipe!


Cooking time!!! :)

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
