Rorschach Sorry to disagree about Ham & Pea, but I like it better with dried yellow peas soaked overnight and then the water from that incorporated into the ham stock (in which the ham was boiled with a couple of Bay leaves) Also Curried Parsnip one of my favorites Phil

Hi All If only it were only Ash and Elm. But there are issues with Horse Chestnut and Oak as well. I agree about stricter checks on imports. And the question must be asked as to why we have been importing Ash saplings from Holland etc when Ash grows so prolifically almost everywhere!! Phil

Sorry but too good an opportunity! Phil

Hi All Is this a case of jumping from the Ceramic Frying pan into the ceramic fire?! Phil

Hi All Thanks for all who replied. After a bit of head scratching, I decided to go for the Shark Pet one. As luck would have it, when I went to order on line, not only was the pet hand unit (also for stairs) included, but also a very comprehensive Car cleaning unit all for £199.00 delivered...

Fruit in Cheese NO NO NO NO Not now, not ever, never. Especially the 'Christmas Fruit' cheeses. Chives is as far as I will go!! Phil

Good to see they're offing a meaningful discount!! Phil

Dear All Thanks for all the advice. Went into PC World last night to see how the Dyson and Shark were in the flesh and in the hand. The shark was lighter and seemed much more manoeuvrable so I think we will be going with that one. Will let you know how good it is after a few days of use! Phil

I'm sure people have very firm view on these, so can I have any recommendations for a new vacuum cleaner bearing in mind we have a dog, both carpets and ard floors and stairs! I'm not that keen on Henry types favouring an upright. Cost clearly comes into it and, unless told otherwise, I'm...

Really sad that you are not nearer to Gloucester as this Artisan Company produces excellent Vegetarian cheeses. http://www.godsellscheese.com BTW I seem to recollect that there is no restriction on making Double Gloucester but Single Gloucester must be made from milk from Gloucester Cows Phil

Yes SunnyBob, I remember years ago there was a Labour MP Mr S O Davies who was most put out he couldn't have a personalised number plate!! Phil

Hi Nice recycling there. However, even with the insides hollowed, they must weigh a bit, especially first thing in the morning for the eggs?!! Phil

Well Guys At least the handle is well insulated when you turn the power on!! By the way, is there a PAT test sticker anywhere? Phil

Hi Many years ago, I used to regularly pass a drive with 2 black matching Porsches with these numbers HER 5 HI 5 No, neither had any visible dent!! Phil

Hi If you or partner are a Poldark fan, try Chavenage House near Tetbury. Used as 'Elizabeth's' House and in any case a really interesting and quirky place. One bedroom has the original tapestries made for it in 1540ish AND it was slept in by Oliver Cromwell!! Don't try Highgrove VERY...

Yes, I went a number of years ago and the size, complexity and range of works they carried out is staggering. Do I remember rightly that there was also a hospital/doctor's surgery for the workers and their families? Phil

Hi Don't know if anyone else picked up on this. In fact I'm really surprised that Trump hasn't been on about it. What, you ask? Well, according to the BBC on Thursday Paris had it's highest temperature ever BUT, the previous record was in the late 1940's!! Global Warming? Well I believe...

BM101 I was in London yesterday and as I started off for home at 4.30, the car thermometer was showing 40.5!!!! I spent a very sticky day running round the Wembley area and had to go into a McDonald's in mid afternoon just to get some cooling off their A/C!!! Much cooler today thank goodness...

I've had a round of golf. Just the once. Went round in 108!! Trouble was, it was a 9 hole course!!!!! Phil the caddy!
