    From me too. Good to know you've still got your eye on those pans :)
    :D I got my one-egg frying pan brand new with tags from a bootsale for 50p. They're little darlings and perfect for that fried egg sarnie.

    Knowing Bob I'm sure that's a euphemism but I don't understand it - am I too innocent? :rotfl:

    Its not, from wikipedia:
    "A popular filling snack with British troops since at least World War I, the "egg banjo" is a sandwich of a runny fried egg between two thick slices of bread (if possible, buttered or with margarine), often accompanied by a mug of "gunfire" (gunfire (drink)). The term "banjo" has been claimed to come from the actions taken when bitten into: yolk would drip down onto the shirt or chest, the sandwich then held out to the side with one hand whilst the other wiped at the drips, giving the impression of playing an invisible banjo."

    Bob So glad you're all right :)
  • My husband was ex Royal Marine so I learned early what a 'banjo' was!

    I bought one from a certain german discounter after being inspired by Bob. Perfect for that bug out bag. I had the same idea re fried egg sarnies.
    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.
  • Snowing up here atm.

    Not very heavy and the ground is wet, so, thankfully, it's not sticking.
