      I am going to take a break from CUK for a while. I disagree strongly with moderation standards here. Allowing: -
      1. Racists
      2. Posters starting threads attacking other posters

      to go unchallenged makes me feel quite unwell.

      No doubt I will go through all the tedious drivel posts at some point and I hope all my friends at tpd remain well

          It appears to be raining or have rained. Not quite sure if there is still wet stuff falling or just drips.

            Note to self: don't fecking forget it's there this time.
            And so it transpired, though there was A Lot of chilli powder in this iteration.

            Combination of stewed apple and stewed raspberries and custard.

            Sadly it was obvious from the flavour that they'd been in the freezer for A Long Time, but acceptable despite this.

            Well I've stewed the feckers so I'm hardly going to throw 'em in the compost heap, though the custard would have been better if it had been thicker.

            0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

            4 portions of chilli in the freezer taking up some space.

            I dragged the 2012 bag of peas to the top so we'll find out how those have survived shortly.
            When the fun stops, STOP.

                  It transpires that said raspberries had 12th June 2011 inscribed on the lid by Strangelove Mater, the hand writing appearing to agree with that sort of date (it deteriorated markedly over the next couple of years).

                  The M&S peas were BBE Jan 2013 so were definitely a 2012 purchase.

                  It's all very exciting in an unexciting what the feck have I got here sort of way.

                  I've not forgotten the arctic pollock which similarly required the application of hammer & chisel to separate the fillets.

                  Mind you they had reason to be miserable in 1972.

                  But I see where you're going with this.
