No! If you Google "downdraught autopsy table", you'll find out why. What a bleak working environment.

Beats the cold marble slab though. With the drain off one corner.

Experiment 50% successful: I still have a kitchen.

Will report on the other 50% tomorrow.

You forgot to turn the oven on, didn't you?

My money's on having switched the oven on, but forgotten to put the culinary experiment inside.

I've just had a flashback to when my mum and dad came to see me in Accrington Victoria Hospital in 1968,when i had my tonsils out. I imagined the Victory V, TCP type disinfectant smell/taste,the painted stone walls and the domineering "man up wimp"! type ward sister,complete with huge needle to inject my backside!

Edit..Just remembered that the boy next to me said that if you cry and complain of pain in your throat they'll bring you a big bowl of ice cream to soothe it,so i cried. They brought a syringe full of painkillers,not ice cream instead. He laughed afterwards,knowing he'd set me up. I've hated that kid for 52 years!

Judging by the queues outside the seafront chippies for the past few weeks, I wonder if we are in for a potato shortage later in the year.

Going on previous years, where it's been bad weather, I'd say yes.

Maybe they're just having fish and mushy peas,or pie and peas.

I would be more worried about the cod. You can take a few organic potato eyes, stick some dirt in a garbage can, and throw the eyes in with about 4" of dirt. Keep adding dirt as the plants grow, and a bit of fertilizer. When the tops flower, and fall over, you can harvest. Cod is much more complex.

Garbage cans are in short supply since we got wheelie bins over here.

Landaners are fond of a Pie.

Yeah, but they'd be in Saarfend, not Sufolk

In that case, we should send to Belgium. Their equivalent of the potato marketing board was encouraging people to chomp through two portions of chips a week, as due to the lack of tourists, they had close to a million tonnes of tatties sitting in warehouses.

Yebbut them's drowned in liquor (parsley sauce) not mushy peas.

Besides, I've never figured out the purpose of mushy peas.
