I was kind of half expecting it when Moley said he 'thought' that P&O would begin to test the waters again in April, with hopefully a gradual roll out at the end of that month. Avril Hi I hope you all get to go on your Cruise's, my first one is in October this year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t hurt at all at the time. I think a hot bath this afternoon should help. It’s still very cold and frosty here, with a little easing forecast for the afternoon. We should have been boarding Iona tomorrow for back-to-backs to Iberian peninsula and Canaries. 😢 Happy New Year, I hope you are feeling a bit better after your fall yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted January 1, 2021 #12359 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thank you Amelia (Welcome to the forum by the way) I’m a bit stiff and sore today but basically I’m fine. Met a lot of people on the dog walk today who had also hit the deck yesterday. It really was treacherous. Happily we’re all mending. Nobody wants to be in A&E with sprains or fractures at any time and certainly not now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite things in Brugge along with a nice cold beer followed by chocolate. I haven’t tried salad cream, a first time for everything. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a deep fried Mars bar, absolutely disgusting. Only managed one mouthful. They are however very popular with tourists along with things like haggis, irn bru flavoured sorbet, Edinburgh rock and tablet. Trial by food. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course we do sometimes - can't see why that is so odd ... it does taste very very nice, particularly if there is a Wright's Pie on the plate too 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted January 1, 2021 #12371 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Anyone else remember when the Chippy's sold very little ? Back in the 1960's our local chippy sold Fish , chips ,fish cake and mushy peas. That was it , no trays , it came served /wrapped in newspaper. The only thing you could get extra was scraps pieces of batter left over from the fryer as a by-product of frying fish. They were free so very popular with the kids . Never seem to hear anyone asking for them or even offered them now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember many a happy holiday in Goodrington / Paignton and there was a fab fish and chip shop just past the harbour. They were always confused when we asked for mushy peas and we were horrified when they gave us peas that had come from a tin ........

Yuk Have NO idea what they would have made of curry sauce with their chips 'n mushy peas ---- Have just remembered potato fritters too ------ loads of batter on those. How we have all survived this long with all of this unhealthy food eh 😉 Edited January 1, 2021 by Presto2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
