Yeah - why did they ask you...Is it well known that you are a great (or crap) cook Heidi?


I watch it every time I see its on and even have the book...I think it hilarious most of the time and yes the voiceover guy is very funny.


I especially liked the Roy ("the Legend") Walker episode recently with Les ("Don't call me Les") Battersby.


It was fantastic. Anyone else see that one?


Someone once told me I looked like Roy Walker.......not sure that's good (or true).

Only some of the mummies in Dulwich have tasted my food since I cooked for their kids as a nanny....I don't recall macaroni cheese, sweet potato pie and mild curries scoring high or featuring on that programme...or pureed food in plastic bowls....

I did - it was one of my all time favourite episodes!

I was also invited to take part but my cat is under stress at the moment because of the new carpet being laid in the hall, and the Feliway diffuser designed to give out happy cat pheromones is playing havoc with my lungs, so I also had to decline.* Had I taken part I would have donned my Nigella Lawson short cardi and wide belt, my black Dominatrix wig like Ness in Gavin and Stacey, and made a cheesy fish bake from the Dairy Diary c.1990. For starters, some fruit and for afters, some chocolate. I wouldn't have won but I might have then been offered to be in How To Look Good Naked, crying at myself in the mirror wearing me five year old knicker and bra set from Primark whilst being oh so grateful for the humiliation situation yet to come. I'm a masochistic exhibitionist. If people don't laugh and love me, I get off.


All the above other than my cat and my lungs is a lie.

It's not *Bob* as he's looking for rugs still


Oh hang on maybe that's why he was looking, to "snaz" up his bedsit




W**F

Love CDWM, and I'm not ashamed to admit I once applied to go on it, so there. And I can't wait for a local episode. Local lady Linda Barker was on the celeb version once and Lordship DIY was featured as she had to rush out to replace some cooking equipment; can't remember what now. Ooooh imagine the queues at WR next Friday. Shall we all go with our buggies mums? Get in the way?

Damn, PR it sounds like one of the best shows yet.

I've now got My Lungs Don't Lie to the tune of the Shakira song going through my head.

Any thoughts concerning your cat I will of course keep to myself on the basis that I try to carry myself as a gentleman at all times.

Hi,


I was also asked to take part in the programme. I submitted my menu for them to peruse. I was turned down because my Shepherds Pie contained real Shepherds!!! I asked them how about Toad in the Hole then?


Better go the nurse is coming back!


Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

I would just like to finally declare that yes I did apply for this show some time ago and was turned down. For various reasons I cannot disclose too much information as to why they turned me down, however I am rather angry that an ordinary girl such as myself doesn't stand a chance on such a show, presumably because I dont buy organic carrots or pretend I am saving the world with my ethically farmed smoked salmon!


If I had of made the cut, I would have happily made my homemade Sicilian Duck (something I proudly conjured up back in the 70's). I have had numerous dinner parties and have consistently received praise on every ocassion. I personally think these stupid shows are a bloody con and that they are blatantly fixed from the start. I spend many hours in the kitchen playing with various bits of meat and fish, conjuring up new recipe ideas. I was approached by a leading magazine back in 1986 to do an article on my homemade puddings. I have always received a warm response from anyone who has ever had a mouthful of my treacle sponge. So if I had been unfortunate enough to have been invited on, I would certainly have dished up some of that for dessert!


As for the starter, well you cant go wrong with a melon with the cherry in the middle, and yes before the Islington Organic Brigade (ED brance) come down on me, they would be fresh cherries from a supermarket, i'm not a complete killjoy you know!


Bloody load of nonsense that show is, it makes me angry just thinking about it. Back to the bottle of sparkling shiraz on the side me thinks!


Cheers!


Louisa.

I would share my recipe but the last time I did so a certain gentleman who shall remain nameless stole it and went on to win the cake competition at Ilfracombe Carnival with my Bakewell tart recipe! Cheeky bugger!


I have fiddled with a spotted dick recipe in the kitchen once or twice but sadly it doesn't quite cut the mustard. I am still learning!


Louisa.

Wonderful. You are the new Vivian Stanshall.

"leg end ay" sounds a bit saucy!


I confess this was down to my wizened old digits trembling with excitement over the keyboard. I have problems with my "r's"....


I have an "Apple Legover" recipe I am willing to exchange, but I hesitate to fiddle with a spotted dick...Perhaps we should start a pudding club in ED? Would you care to join PGC? B)

Come Dine With Me in entertainment programme and not sociological documentary shock.

    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
