  4. Does anyone know how the additional amounts of Pre 97 and Post 97 additions to state pension are calculated. My Pre97 is £1 94 My post 97 is £00. 07 Over a working life I perhaps had 1 week unemployed and 8 weeks off through illness. Recently a female relation showed me her benefits statement where her Pre and Post 97 payments exceeded £50, this relation had time of to raise 4 children and would have fewer NI contributions than mine.

  6. Hi all back on here at last. Several months ago my screen asked me to clear all cookies did so of course. Found I needed to type passwords on several other sites fr access.

  7. No they dont those in the photo look more like Norway Lobster tails rather than prawns and are caught by trawl or creel all around the Scottish coast. Trawl mainly in the north sea but by both methods in Scottish west coast sea lochs. Overcooking can ruin the taste and texture of shellfish so pick a tried and tested cooking time. Blackpowder

  14. Realised that after you replied, not had sloes here for a year or two but 4 years ago in Dumfries and Galloway while walking around Wigton Bay in September the blackthorn bushes , which clad entire slopes from field verge to shoreline hung thick with sloes almost like grapes on the vine. Picked a couple of year's supply on that occasion but must get out and around see if we have any local this year.. Blackpowder
  15. Been making it for years and always forget about the muslin thing. Present batch is strawberry vodka. Last night found a 6 year old quarter bottle of gooseberry vodka back in the cupboard one of the smoothest fruit liquers I have made. Blackpowdewr

  21. The allotment holds two rather splendid red cabbage which I intend to pickle. A recent purchase of a 5 litre can of malt vinegar used for beetroot has left me with a surplus. Most of the recipes on line seem to ask for cider vinegar but I would rather use the malt I have if its suitable. Anyone got a good home grown recipe with few ingredients? BLACKPOWDER

  23. Exactly well said. Blackpowder
  24. A surprising change in ownership for Shooting Times and Sporting Gun both titles seemingly purchased by Edinburgh based Fieldsports Press. Recently this firm also bought Trout and Salmon considered by many game fishermen to be the leading magazine in fly fishing . Blackpowder
