If youre in my neck of the woods pop in for a [STRIKE]gallon[/STRIKE] glass of scrumpy (hic) :beer:

I won't be to far away, but this weekend is crunch time to finish the job, before it finishes me! We have to go oop again next weekend. (thats 1000 of driving in a week). But next time will be just to visit relations. I will give you a shout nearer the time. Lunch, liquid or otherwise will be on handy.

(just seen a post saying your phished over on the UE thread, Don't believe it!):beer:

Best wishes, handyman123.

All this talk of fish and chips - d'ya know what I had today.... Pie & Mash with Liquor (no Niddy not the stella kind!) I love it - have any of you ever had it when you've been to London? It's probably an acquired taste

I once had sausage and mash in a pub in Edinburgh. it was still frozen cos they never heated it up properly:eek: put me off Edinburgh for life that did cos Ive never been back since:rotfl:

I've never actually had it BL, but in the local supermarket, they have a ready meal called "Cooks Pie and mash" and that apparently has the Liquor on it, always wondered what it was..

Yeah I've seen those, it's based on the same thing but they're Eeeuukk! My local pie & mash shop was called Cooke's but they shut down a few years back . You have to have the real thing, it's a London thing and I used to love getting my half crown (2s 6d - equiv to 12 1/2p in new money - which was a lot in the good ol' days:D) pocket money on a saturday and me and me mates would get the bus, go swimming, get the bus back to the pie & mash shop and still have sixpence change, it's not like having a pie like you buy in the supermarket, they're different, like suet pastry and you have this green liqour which is sort of like a parsley sauce but doesn't taste like parsley sauce, poured all over it and then you put salt & vinegar (sometimes chilli veingar if you like it hot :eek:) all over it and it is GREAT!!! Sorry, I've gone on a bit there and for those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about - my apologies:o

Geebee

Aaah the good ol' days... Its nice to have a trip down memory lane BL. Even better if you can actually do the good ol' things and not just dream about them!. You'll be gettin' your swimmin' togs out next!.

For me though, suet is a (almost) definite No-No. If ever i'm down London way, i'll maybe try and give it a go.

Funny you should say that GB, I'm off swimming tomorrow with my grand-daughter! I might even take her to the pie & mash shop after!;) altho she'd prob prefer McD's



Back later.

Just finished fish and chips, had to pass on the battered troll as it produces too much gas at both ends like the ones Niddy dispatches in the wee small hours of the night. (trolls I mean, not gas! Sorry Nid!) I was at work for the first half of the week, then yesterday t'internet played silly boogers and I could not get a connection, so I have a few days of gossip and nonsense to catch up on. Hope everyone is set for a cracking weekend - not quite as tropical as last weekend but pleasant all the same. We have visitors arriving Sunday for a couple of days so I will be up to my eyes in slaughtering fatted calves etc.
