Oh Dear. I just cannot see George as a Hippy and as a Flower Power advocate in Snorbans. My image of him as a suave civil servant and Alan Bennett look alike in Admiralty Arch is forever shattered into a thousand shards!
Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The Richard Mabey generation rather than hippydom. We ate the flowers rather than poking them down the muzzles of the Snorbens Sea Cadets. |

The Mid-Wales experience, that delivered so little after promising so much. A bit like the Llanidloes Revival wasn't it? I know, I was there. |

Anyone here made Kombucha? It's a sort of fermented tea made from a kombucha culture - tastes like a mild cider. We made it for a while but stopped when we heard some scare stories about it. However, I know of two 1st hand accounts of its remarkable healing properties.
As students we made ginger beer - until it exploded all over the airing cupboard.

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

I've no idea why the children kept asking if they could stay for tea with their friends after school.
 George, the answer to that is probably Shippam's Bloater Paste sandwiches  Edit.Oh Lord, suddenly I have recovered a long buried memory of going to tea at a friend's house and being given sugar sandwiches. Even as a child I preferred savoury to sweet. Can't remember what I did with the sarnies. Probably stuffed them in my gymslip pockets. Always a favourite strategy for dubious food Morty, don't you remember at The Convent, we had pockets in our gym knickers? It's where we kept our stash. |

Indeed it do, but I gather that there are some very effective eardrops available now. |

Would I now? Cooked dinner for a colleague tonight. Lamb steaks pan fried and served with roasted tomatoes and courgettes. Slight problem in that she had run out of olive oil (I was cooking at her's) so I had to cook with truffle oil, and I'm sorry but I just don't like it, and I'd much rather cook lamb on my griddle pan. Moral of this story is to make sure I'm cooking at my house next time. Nevermind, the lamb was lovely. |

I concur with my learned colleague, Dr Butter. There is, probably, a time and a place for truffle oil but not when frying, umm, anything. Was it a butter/ridged pan free zone, hh?
