OHMYGOD! I have just been into the pet shop on North Cross Road, to purchase our puppy a Christmas gift. Would you believe that they are selling genuine pigs snouts/noses?


Both of my poppets are completely traumatised. I shall be lying down for the rest of the afternoon.


Has anyone any thoughts about vegetarian pet foods?

you should try these www.mocksnouts.com


'A tasty and ethical alternative to real pig snouts, the finest organic root vegetables diced, shaped and baked in a hand cranked solar oven, glazed with honey crafted by bisexual buddhist bees with nostrils lovingly poked out with a Linda McCartney vegan pepperami'

Years and years ago my father acquired a walking stick made from a Bulls Pizzle. And, as one does, I took it to the pub with me one night as a conversational piece. What intrigued me was how a couple of women friends there knew instinctively what it was and gave me a wide berth - at least I think that was the reason...:-S

OHMYGOD! I am repulsed by the pizzle suggestion, but the dog is tearing up the sofa and at least they are not recognizable like a freeze dried pig snout. Where could I buy a "pizzle"?


Lovely SimonM, is there any characteristic smell that may have frightened the ladies away?

The best place to start if you're looking for a bull pizzle is, obviously, a bull! They used to be quite popular with farmers, and you'd have to look closely to realise that the "stick" was made of no ordinary..uh...wood.


I really don't think there was any smell to the thing - it was quite old. It's just that women of breeding and gentility tend to have a kind of 6th sense about such disagreeable matters....

You do realise that these things have a thin metal rod down their centre for - ah - assisting rigidity don't you? So you may incur astronomical canine dentistry bills if you buy one for your yapping fashion accessory....:))


And remember...a bull pizzle is not just for Christmas!

Lovely SimonM,


Why in the name of God and all of his lovely saints and angels would someone really want to have one of these as a walking stick? Actually, I wonder if that is what I have seen Michael Paleologulopadopalot walking up Lordship Lane with? OHMYGOD!

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
