    Mine is a slow cooker version so you can bung it on and leave it to cook all day. I prefer working in the morning. I had trouble getting porcini mushroom powder which I usually bring back from Italy but and eventually got it on Amazon. Hope you enjoyed yours.

    That’s a real shame about your Aunt MB, my condolences. You may miss the funeral but you will be there in spirit and can have your own private remembrances on the day.

    Don’t know about anyone else but I have been busy planting herbs. Some of the old ones are a bit woody so I’ve put in a new lot for cooking. Just finished making bread and a mushroom stroganoff. My don’t I live an exciting life. Hope you are all having a nice day.

    It’s back after about 3 hours however not all the pages are loading properly.

    The site appears to have been down for most of the morning. This was not pre announced update / outage. Anyone know what’s happening?

    Very good advise from Snow Hill. Look at the fire regulations as well. How will they evacuate from what is essentially a domestic property, is there space for fire escape ramps etc.
  7. Eglesbrech
    I don’t know what the regulations are in England but up here some posts are politically restricted for a period of time, even after holding and leaving office / a senior post. I wouldn’t think it would apply if he has been out of office for quite a while. I sorry to hear this Josy and hope you get it sorted.

    Because their onboard offerings are fairly limited and pedestrian. Add to that the change has been made after people have paid in full so customers have no valid choices.
  9. Eglesbrech
    Very few now and generally those who are all ai anyway so you bringing on a decent malt does not affect their profits.

    One should indeed expect better food than the local pub on a cruise ship. The food on Aurora was however significantly worse on our cruise a few weeks ago (with the notable exception being Sindu which was excellent). The beer and wines were the same brands.

    There is a massive divide both in drinks prices but also in wage rates. A steak is about £16 here and a massive mixed grill with steak, lamb, gammon, sausage, chicken etc £20.
  12. Eglesbrech
    My local pub has a decent bottle of Chenin, Pinot Grigio or shiraz for around £15. Beers like Stella are £4.30 a pint, Moretti £4.60. Cheaper beers are £3.50. Food is £10.25 for a large portion of fish and chips (£8.00 for pensioner portion). Fahitas are £10 for veggie, £12 for chicken and £13 for steak. Steak pie etc around £10.
  13. Eglesbrech
    I would not suggest they are a rip off as we have had the same or more in hotels abroad. That said they are certainly not the prices we would generally expect to pay at a restaurant or pub at home. All things are relative.

    Yes another favourite along with the Roads and the Miles to Dundee, the dark island and the song of the Clyde (modern folks think that rappers sing fast, try that song for speed and tongue twisting).

    Probably about as much as is “ wasted” on soaps I never watch, overpaid sports presenters I never watch etc etc.
