Right ho....
I am puffed out
All previous surveys now replaced....
And the results spreadsheets now available for all to see

I will crack on with more surveys, from the recipes link, during the week, if I get a chance

I'm mega hungry, as not had any dinner .....
Off to see whats about in the fridge

Nighty nite all


Edit...
Results for the Tea survey has been increased 6 fold, from Weezl's suggestion to post threads in OS and DT :T
The thread in OS was moved to the Arms, and even more responses were collated.
Oh...and the link in my signature was removed soon after :rotfl::rotfl:(it was a link to post 4 of this thread, but maybe I shouldn't have responded to the boardguide, by asking if she had filled in the survey before moving it )

I'm really glad your survey got more responses in the Arms - of course it would! Actually, I really should have deleted your thread as it was a duplicate, but I didn't.

To clarify, the thread was moved as it was a survey about drinking tea. You explained how you liked to drink tea, and asked people to do a survey - with no inclination that it was related to this thread or moneysaving in any way. I couldn't see how discussing how we drink our tea would be classed as moneysaving (and your thread never explained it) , so I moved it to the arms.:)

Regards your signature link being removed - that was nothing to do with me, and I am sad to see you indirectly suggest it was - in some sort of revenge?!. I am a board guide here to try to help people and help the boards run smoothly . I'm not on some sort of power trip and I did not report your link to the MSE forum team.

If you have any issues with any of the board guides, or how we carry out our roles - please note you can send an email to [EMAIL="%20abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

thanks
Zip

Edit - and yes, I did complete the survey.

Thanks Zippy for completing the survey

I did half expect one of the threads to be moved or deleted, and I did refer to that earlier on this thread, hence, why I mentioned it again in the post you quoted.
And yes, you are correct, I should have explained a little better why I was asking such a question.

I do not believe that you did have anything to do with my signature being removed. I merely found the irony of having a thread moved and then my signature removed quite funny.
I am sorry if I have offended you

I have no issues what so ever, at this time, with any of the board guides.
I think you all do a great and thankless task :T
And as such, I will not be referring to this issue again.

Right, I am going to deffo try your version of the omlette, using one egg...
Only me for tea
I just found a reference to the croatian potato salad too....
But thats not for me, sorry

I am sure there will be a survery for the omlette by the time I have eaten it :whistle::rotfl::rotfl:

Aless this is most strange!

You'll laugh:Dbut now I have flatter than my usual loaves from the Paul Merrett recipe!

They rose really well, after the second proving, but kind of collapsed on oven transfer and are 1-3 cms below the top of the loaf tins.

I'm wondering if with bread we maybe are subject to lots of variables, although goodness knows what they are!

So I think what I'll do is to include a no-kneed, and a kneed recipe (probably yours since it has a good price comparison, only the oil in yours makes it a tidgy bit more)

It tastes really nice though, and a nice crumb. I hope one day I can make a nice batch

^^^^^
Sums up why I asked for a breadmaker for Xmas before last! All my handmade attempts were bricks! I love my breadmaker!

good oh!

Potty what is it about the potato salad that's not very nice? Is there a way we can tweak it? Just wondering if Bob et al might feel the same as you....

Aless I am trying the paul merrett bread now

now then, is anyone up for a bit of non-google research?

I have happily discovered today that these:



contain a firming agent which contains CALCIUM! :j:j:j

However the amount/percentage is not stipulated on the can.

Whenever I ring asda customer services they take my name address etc, and I don't ant them to get fed up of multiple enquiries from one customer!

Would anyone be willing to ring and find out who the supplier is, and then ask them what amount/percentage of calcium is in the cans?

I find that they are happy to disclose this the more you sound like 'oh hello I'm just doing a project on people getting enough calcium!' cos else I think they worry that you're a competitor stealing their information :rotfl:

so if anyone's willing, I'd be mega grateful

I suspect the firming agent is in the liquid , which would be washed off prior to using the beans

Plus , I might be wrong about this , but I thought that only certain forms of calcium can be used by the body

yep, it is in the liquid, but I'll keep it if it has calcium cos it's just brine other than that. How does that sound?

Hello and welcome by the way
