Michaels would have a card for a free meal for this sort of situation wouldn't he?

Much foraging is now "bad" and frowned upon.Doozergirl wrote: »...some is foraged. ...
People have been going wholesale into public spaces/woods etc and stripping them bare of anything that grows.... then carting bin bags of things off to a van or workshop before sorting out what's good and what's bad - then binning the stuff they don't want and flogging the "good" stuff off to chefs.
Epping Forest already have a blanket ban on picking anything. New Forest are having problems too.
TV Chefs and the middle classes are being blamed for this.0 -

We never used to get gifts from aunts/uncles for birthdays.lostinrates wrote: »Don't mention birthdays, New nieces birthday gift is wrapped and in the study. I've now missed her birthday and bil is not talking to us (again). I just kept forgetting to post it.
Even for Xmas it was a bit dodgy. I remember getting a cheap handkerchief set from the market one year - and another year a cheap/plastic doll (sindy sized) from the market and it didn't even have any clothes (nor a box). Just a 50p doll - and we didn't have dolls, so had no clothes for them. Another typical gift from an aunt/uncle might be a pair of American Tan tights off the market .... so the budget seems to have been about 50p each year.
Having said that, I don't recall any gift from the other aunt/uncles ever.0 -
