  1. If you are on the new state pension which is currently £221.20 per week, that will be an increase of £9.06 per week. Don’t spend it all at once!
  2. I have been out on the shoot all day. My lovely wife had put a shin of beef and red wine stew in the slow cooker early this morning. It was luvverly. Nice herby dumplings as well. We continued ploughing through the Christmas cheeses for afters.
  3. Perhaps we should adopt the custom of the “dull men’s club” on that famous face like social media site and just use a banana for scale. Of course we would have to then know if it was a small, medium or large banana. Also it’s difficult for those who don’t like bananas, alternatives would have to be found. It’s a complete minefield!
  4. She is doing very well thank you MM. A very happy new year to you too. I would be just as happy with beef and dumplings. It was fantastic! Only slightly spicy, but very very tasty.
  5. We are in my local pub celebrating the beloveds last chemotherapy session. Just had the most amazing onion bhaji scotch egg in a madras sauce with Bombay potatoes and a mint rajita. It was very lovely and more than a touch filling!
  6. I use it in loaves that are 20% whole meal 80% white flour with a couple of spoons of sourdough starter as well as some yeast. It makes an awesome malty loaf with a really good crust. No good for people with no teeth like a certain Mr. Ditchman!
  7. That’s a great colour on the Yorkshire pudding, they must have been good eggs! Nice looking bit of beef as well. I love a rib roast.
  8. It’s not marmite. It is like a malty treacle that you use in bread baking. It goes very well with root veg.
  9. Looks good! I hope there is plenty of veg left over for bubble and squeak tomorrow.
  10. Noooo, we south Saxons can only aspire to be Norfolkians….
  11. I tried to put up 4 pictures in my post but I was informed that I had exceeded the upload size and only two had been posted. I then added the next two in a reply and the forum software then merged the reply into the original post. So all 4 pictures are now in one post even thought they are too big but clearly not really too big!
  12. Here is the starter of pigs in blankets (home made sausages and home maple cured bacon) followed by cod in a roast fennel and caper butter sauce. Main course of fillet steak with roast potatoes, sautéed sprouts and carrot and parsnip roasted in malted barley extract. Flaming Christmas pud to finish.

  14. Hmmm….. I just read the article, forgive me for being underwhelmed and suspicious of how the numbers are being manipulated. A large percentage increase of not many is very few. However, it that increase continues to grow, come back and wake me up! I might be more impressed. I was initially dismissive of our new Labour MP. Not that she would have been concerned about it. Over the months since the election she is getting stuck in to local issues and I am thawing a little. If I see tangible results I may even thaw a bit more. She voted in favour of removing the heating allowance so that stigma remains. So I will wait and see how this deportation situation develops before any further disdain is expressed.
