You had a black leaden range like my grandmother did thenOriginally Posted by Michael Parnham
Never had a cooker in those days, the oven was built in the fireplace and we had 1 gas ring in the kitchen, was also taught how to use a flat iron

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Sounds like that flat iron was used round the back of your head every time you asked for more foodNever had a cooker in those days, the oven was built in the fireplace and we had 1 gas ring in the kitchen, was also taught how to use a flat iron
Please sir, I want some more
I learned how to boil eggs from my Grandma or Nan as I used to call her, and Britains first TV chef Philip Harben demonstrated how to boil a soft boiled egg in exactly the same way my Nan taught me I used to watch his TV show in the late 40's early 50's in the coop electrical department on a 10" TV they were demonstrating (the picture always appeared to look blue) does anyone else remember those days?
Yes and I was the one who had to black it sometimesYou had a black leaden range like my grandmother did then

Makes no difference at all, any 3 year old doing what you say is a big no no for me.Never had a cooker in those days, the oven was built in the fireplace and we had 1 gas ring in the kitchen, was also taught how to use a flat iron
I remember my grandfather making a toasting fork in the shipyards he worked at,and using it to make us toast on the fire part,and the doors on the sides being opened to put food in,hazy memories though as i was very small.Yes and I was the one who had to black it sometimes

Have you thought ,they could be wrong, so that means you are wrong too.after so many years of doing something the same way, it can turn out you been doing it wrong.I learned how to boil eggs from my Grandma or Nan as I used to call her, and Britains first TV chef Philip Harben demonstrated how to boil a soft boiled egg in exactly the same way my Nan taught me I used to watch his TV show in the late 40's early 50's in the coop electrical department on a 10" TV they were demonstrating (the picture always appeared to look blue) does anyone else remember those days?
Just like Making love everyday some people say they do that, but to others it's call having a w_ _ k.sorry I could not find the symbol.
Baloy beach could be good for you, there are plenty of decent bars and restaurants......Sorry guys it's not zootopia it's called zoobic, presume because it's a zoo in Subic

Toast and dripping yummy, you've made me hungry now
We use to get a fork and bend over some of the teeth to stop the toast from falling into the fire, and if it did we would try to swap it with your brother's
I remember my dad made quite an ornate large brass toasting fork.
We used it to toast crumpets on the fire.
Lovely......
Thank you guys for making me feel young again.
Yes lovely indeed. We use to buy ( don't know how to spell it ). Pie cluts????. And toast them when we was kids.I remember my dad made quite an ornate large brass toasting fork.
We used it to toast crumpets on the fire.
Lovely......
Going back to the fork and bent teeth,. We use to hold it for as long as we could until it was just to hot, then we would pull out jumpers over our hands and try again.
One day my brother had his new knitted jumper on what mum made, but it was this new nylon stuff she used , the sleeve melted to the shape of his hand,
Those was the days
I remember pulling my jumper over to stop my hands burning,and the toast falling in the fire at times but we still ate it,nowt went to waste in those days,we camped out once,shot some blackbirds with our catapults,plucked and gutted them and cooked them wrapped in dock leaves in the ashes of the fire,they tasted crap but we ate them just the same.

Love Pikelets too still have them occasionally
Dock leaves , my god this is better then Robinson Crusoe
Dock leaves always had a threefold purpose in life,ease nettle stings,bush toilet paper,and make do cooking foil.

Yes indeed the dreaded nettles and bog paper too, but how many times did your finger go though it.
When we used to go on our Sunday walks down the local canal trying to catch newts and frogs , then tree climbing making dens and everything else, making a fire and throwing potatoes on to eat later, no matter how long they was on for and no matter how black the skin was, it was still hard as nails inside and horrible too.
Yup,we ate fire black raw potatos,caught newts and frogs and slow worms,and used to go ferreting for rabbits and rats,and shoot pheasants at night with our airguns then i got an old .410 shotgun when i was 14,it was a folding double barrel poachers gun,used to get ducks,partridge,even hares with that,i was a terror

Amazing times, and fun times with your mates, swimming in the canals and gravel pits even open rivers down rapids, we got some tractor inna tubes and use to float down the river for miles .Yup,we ate fire black raw potatos,caught newts and frogs and slow worms,and used to go ferreting for rabbits and rats,and shoot pheasants at night with our airguns then i got an old .410 shotgun when i was 14,it was a folding double barrel poachers gun,used to get ducks,partridge,even hares with that,i was a terror
If i new my kids was doing this now i would have a fit.
Kids need a bit of freedom to find out what and who they are,but we live in different times nowadays,some very strange people around,so kids cant wander the streets with their mates or kick around in woods for fear of meeting a stranger or someone who didnt have their best interests at heart.

We used to muck about in the high speed train tunnels in Hertfordshire..Some seemed to go for miles..
We thought there was a good possibility that we would get sucked through them if a fast train came through.. Still didnt stop us..
Never did tell Mum.
My bill for Aldi was just over£42.
Lots of ice cream , lots of fruit, juice, and 3 Pack's of migit gems and 2 packs of wine gums and 2 packs of fruit pastels, a few packs of biscuits and so on.
But the most expensive item coming in at £2.45 P, was foil but we needed it, my budget was blown, but we are like kings,
Back to the budget and my fav shop at the moment ALDI,
We brought some prepack smokey cheese the other day , this had 12 slices of cheese in the pack, we usually buy either Edam or gouda packs.
And what a very nice tasting cheese i thought this was, and if you put this on there super seeded bread too well its a ice change.
BOOM , there goes the budget, for many who has been following this.
Now they are saying we must eat 10 portions of fruit and veg per day, now for some folk on a budget that may be hard and i am sure the supermarkets and veg shops will be jumping on this and maybe putting the prices up.
My god what shall we do you may ask, dont worry i may have the answer.
ALDI, yes Aldi ,
A tin of there cheap fruit cocktail , different fruits inside and if you are lucky there may be something that looks like a cherry too.
Packs of vegetable stew packs again different sorts inside these packs .
We all may be spending a little more now but we all shall live longer and poorer if you have no more i that budget to spare for food.
But again i am here to give advice.
Each evening go to your local supermarket and look inside there skips , i am sure you will find your 10 a day in there plus a little mold does not hurt, "just shut your eyes and swallow", OOPS that last little bit is about something else
Freeganism or as the americans call it dumpster diving,supermarkets individual large tesco waste tons,genuine tons of food each and every year X's that by each large tesco,M&S,Waitrose etc all over the country it will be truly frightning how much food we waste as a country each year,i waste nothing,zilch,its how i was brought up,always leave a clean plate,but its incredible how much we waste when we have just pledged to give £100 million in foreign aid to somalia and sudan as well as whatever we already give them,whens the flow going to reverse and countries give us foreign aid,this morning theres a report on TV about how many hungry children are here in the UK,how shameful is that?

Sod that. I just had a Creme Egg. Yummy. 3 for a pound in Waitrose (sorry Aldi gives me a headache with their illogical layouts and they never have everything we need, meaning we'd need to go to another supermarket anyway).BOOM , there goes the budget, for many who has been following this.

I often used to pop over to Market Harborough for a visit to Aldi and Lidl for some shopping.
Trefor is correct, well for me anyway. Most of the stuff I'd be looking for at Aldi would be out-of-stock or just not there. Similar with Lidl
Luckily there's a Waitrose just over the road also a Sainsburys so by hook or by crook I could always get what I wanted despite not being at bagain basement prices.
I was always a great fan of Waitrose. Some very yummy stuff.
However Aldi did have some good bargains like the remote controlled helicopter I bought for £7. Actually I bought 3 or 4 and shipped them over here.
They have all I need when I go in, even a light bulb I needed , ok I had to move a few to get the one I wanted
Water rates bill has just dropped into my mail box and yes its gone up too.
£200.40p for the year, thats gone up a whopping £7+ fro lat year, hay ho cannot grumble really.
Next mouth the council tax is due and they are saying thats going up to pay for care in the community, yer right
