Oh f*ck really, you can't tell the difference in texture between fresh and dried pasta?


You must be kidding Fox


Really really really, no really!


But then your thing on charcoal kebab taste is so out of synch with reality, i'm not suprised at your sillyness here


Press death button please

Seabag there's no difference between frozen and fresh veg, if anything the frozen stuff has been proven to be "fresher" because it's taken from field to freezer retaining its freshness! You really do believe the rubbish you spout don't you? Haha literally crying with laughter here. I bet the likes of Waitrose and all the little fresh this that and the other organic shops love you coming in store. "I saw you coming" syndrome springs to mind. Some people just love being ripped off I swear.

Same with many things in life though isn't it Louisa? Whilst you heave around the district in your beaten up Nissan Micra, loaded with slowly-defrosting frozen peas and lamb shanks, others enjoy having food delivered to the door (and the net-curtain twitching from neighbours as they tut-tut at the extravagance of Ocado).


Meanwhile, I'm sitting on the sofa counting the cool grand a year I save by not having a car - whilst the oil companies, Government, parking attendants, garages and car dealers continue to relieve you of your (hard-earned?) cash...

Lowlander what is this obsession with food being delivered? It's extremely antisocial and representative of all that is lazy about 21st century life. Whilst you are sat at home not getting any exercise I am whizzing about in my car (and on foot) searching out bargains in my local environs. Any money you save by having stuff delivered is offset by the additional premium a firm like Waitrose whack on top of every day essentials. A car isn't just about convenience for people of a certain age, it's a necessity in some cases. It also means I don't rely on public transport if I fancy a leisurely trip to the coast on a weekend. Looking at the cost of trains etc I'm very happy to stick with my car.


Jeremy, Eric and Mags sourced all their veg from fresh local suppliers I can assure you.

Louisa what is this obsession with driving everywhere? The obesity, slothfulness and inefficiency of this country are exactly why the UK is going to the dogs. Getting my groceries delivered - price matched to Tescos - is efficient, economic and keeps traffic off the roads.


In addition, I walk 5 miles a day to and from work.


Every week I walk to Peckham and back, buying up garlic, spring onions, okra, herbs, meat, fish and a myriad of other bits and pieces - because it's better quality and cheaper. But Ocado beats them on price for wine, tinned goods, some greens (broccoli, spinach).


And you have no idea of the principle of a car being a necessity. Try living in the wilds of Scotland (I have!) and you'll soon find out.


No-one needs a car. My 90 year old grandmother lived car-free in a house heated by coal fires and did all her own shopping - carried home.

Frozen fruit and vegetables can be healthier, with higher levels of vitamins and cancer fighting antioxidants, than leafy ?fresh? produce.


Two independent studies found more beneficial nutrients in everything from frozen broccoli florets and carrots to blueberries.


In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetables scored better on antioxidant-type compounds ? including Vitamin C, polyphenols, anthocyanins, lutein and beta-carotene.


Consumption of these anti-oxidant compounds is considered beneficial in preventing cancer and supporting the working of the body, brain, skin and eyes.

There are numerous sites to back this up. But it really is common sense..


Seabag do a little research. Engage brain before posting here.

Your constant Insults to Louisa and Myself would seem to enhance your ignorance.


Muppets ??? I believe it is yourself that has a hand up your backside making you work.

But why did they bother? You can't both be right. A excellent demonstration of arguing yourself into a hole.. again.


Some frozen stuff is fine, but a lot of it has a gruesome texture, vitamins or not.


Let's not be silly just for the sake of it.

Of course frozen and fresh veg taste different, despite nutritional value. It's almost a pointless argument. It's just arguing for the sake of it.


[ I'm kind of with Louisa on the car thing though... don't strictly *need* one, but it's a very useful thing to have - trips out of London, B&Q, weekends away with the baby and luggage, etc etc ]

*Bob* you've turned into Mr sensible pants of late! Where is the wicked sarcasm? Eric and Mags chose to source local suppliers but personally I would choose the frozen option because I don't mind the texture.


That article in the mail is interesting. Personally I've always thought it was common sense that freshly frozen veg would retain more antioxidants than stuff that's been sat around for days in cargo losing it's goodness. I've found quite a few scientific articles of interest in the mail over the years Pibe.

Alas I'm having an inconvenient busy spell of work - and am unable to give the forum my full attention. Hopefully it will die down soon and normal service can be resumed.


Please accept this frozen bag of mushy, fibrous, grey runner beans in the meantime - as a token of my esteem.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
