Re: GOOD TV

It's not but you have to to find out if they are any good. :smile: We have watched all of "This Town", loosely based on the rise of SKA & 2 Tone music around Coventry and Birmingham in the early 80's. We are currently watching series 2 of "Traces" on BBC1.

I doubt if they could do 3 x 6 hour naps. When you think that it is only just over 100 years since the first 12 second flight at Kitty Hawk, it's amazing the speed of innovation. Two World Wars helped in that respect of course.

Re: Boiled Fruit Cake

It's proper with one extra comment despite having 1 hour 20 it could still have done with another 10 minutes. Of course, could be our oven or the shelf setting. It's fully cooked and but could have done with being a bit firmer in the centre. Learning curve for me as I don't normally do big cakes. :e...

Re: DIALECT AND WORD MEANINGS

What rankles me is the insistence of sticking an R in many perfectly good and already pronounceable words such as MASTER , CASTLE etc. There is no R in either example and many more that gets the treatment. It normally seems to automatically follow an A which in my book is pronounced Ah not Ar. :dont...

Boiled Fruit Cake

Well, what do you do on a rainy Sunday afternoon? You have a first go at baking a boiled fruit cake! When we visit our good friends Linda and Neil MacSween for a brew and a natter, Linda often treats us to what I would say is one of the best fruit cakes I have ever tasted! Linda's family is from the...

She is still quite timid with strangers and noises in the back street when she is out in the yard. Consequently she will need to learn the ca...

Beating the Bounds is an established walk with marker stones around the parish. The Greyhound did a slightly modified variant for their fund raiser. The Benidorm Rally is an annual organised charity event and has lots of entrants from all around the country. It's not a race but promoted as an advent...

Can't you just pop the shaker top out? They are just a plastic bung if it's like ours.
