    I didn't know that either. I thought 'dessert' was posh, and 'pudding' was sort of homely.

    I have a vague idea that 'afters' might be non-posh - that was what we called them at primary school.

    Then again, these terms could all be regional varieties.

    How interesting.

    I've always used the word pudding and I'm definitely not posh. Dessert though, that's very posh. One of my favourite puddings is Angel Delight - butterscotch flavour. Sorry Pastures, but how can that possibly be posh?

    Oooh, Angel Delight, aren't we la-di-da. Get you, coming on here with yer poncy posh puddings and rubbing it in our faces. Don't you know some of us live in poverty and on McFlurries. Now that's a proper working mans apres dejunee, not some high fallutin' "aren't I a fancy pants" poofta treat.

    Was Angel Delight an iconic development of the 1960's ?
    I bet mums who served up Angel Delight, washed their faces with "beautiful pink Camay"

    I've always called it dessert......I am posh!

    Quicky fly by tonight, got my assignment score back and surprised myself again, to me it read like gobbly gook but it got a decent mark.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    The way this economy is going, those days will be coming back?

    Hey everyone!:wave:

    Real busy at work.. hence virtually no jelly on the forum at the mo.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Hope the weather improves soon too!:)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
