Cheers Wolf. (sets watch till someone tells us he was a veggie)


Muley, you mean Rick Stein, of course. I'd like to pour impotent scorn on him from behind my sweaty keyboard, but he seems a decent sort of chap. That Chalky was a right bellend, thoughbut.

That's the fella. Always seems truly enthusiastic about the food, rather than bolstering his own celebrity. You're right about that little git Chalky though- probably took his name from a Jim Davidson 'joke'...

Yeah, he does a mean pork sword.

TM I did for a short time genuinely think that Kev and Brian were the same person. I put their differing sizes down to somewhat dodgy eyesight and perhaps doing more vodka at the time than even John Torode does these days.

What innocent drunk telly watching days, they were. Absolutly over now of course.

Well done RD but is Padme Lakshmi really a chef even though she's really fit.


Aside from that. How could we forget possibly the most annoying chef of all time and lore. Remember when channel 5 was launched and we had to put up with the one and only Nancy Lam.

I rest my case.

    • Suggest, speak to: 1. The Modern House - we successfully used them as have friends. 2. Agents in areas that have larger amounts of former industrial building conversions who steer buyers looking for type of property v location.
    • Thank you for the feedback! Helps to see we're not alone. The only good experience we had was Modern House. Anyone tried Strike/Purple Bricks/Yopa? How did it go? Anything to be mindful of?
    • Best experience we had was with Modern House. The rest of the agents around the area are appalling.... They just want their commission and not interested in getting a good deal. You'd be lucky if they pick up the phone...
    • I’d like to echo the positive comments about Trelco. I discovered that the stopcock on the rising main was leaking and was damaging the flooring in the utility room. Not having seen this thread, or any reviews for that matter,  I picked Trelco  as it was the nearest to me. It was a gamble but goodness it paid off. James was responsive and clear in what he offered. His colleague Andy replaced the offending stopcock and put in a lever valve to allow me to shut off the water easily when I go away. He did a great job, neat and tidy, he was cheerful, friendly and professional. All this within a day of contacting them. Although not an emergency it needed resolution quickly. The price charged was very reasonable indeed, especially considering the quality of the service. I am so pleased to have found such an excellent plumber.
