Tomorrow I start, I've cleared part of the back of the lounge this morning so I can make a start.

That's a bugger! Rotten time for it to happen, when loads of people who've never previously taken an interest have rushed out and bought all the bread-making flour, and then, possibly as a result of tiring of kneading, cleared the stores of breadmakers too. Make sure you get a Panasonic as a replacement. :okay:
Why Panosonic??
I have always had good results from my MR's but open to change.

I have now officially had enough of all the numpty newsreaders who seem intent on stirring things as much as possible.

When will we have a vaccination. Answer. When it's ready and safe. Reply But they are not telling us when it will be ready. Doh :eek:

Will the lockdown last until June. Answer. We don't know, it depends on so many factors. Hopefully if we all adhere to the rules it might be sooner. Reply. Why are the government not telling us when it will end. Doh again. :eek:

I have decided not to watch the news now. I will listen to the daily update but that's it. :okay:.
I long for the days when newsreaders read the news in a level tone without the need for inflections to express apparent disbelief or disapproval. Bring back Richard Baker and Anna Ford ... although sadly, the former might be difficult.

1) They seem to get pretty much top rating from a wide range of reviewers.
2) 'Cos I've got one and I crave validation. Innit. ^_^

Seriously, I haven't checked how many years we've had ours, but it always gives top notch results, whether the full make'n'bake program or just for doing the hard work of producing dough. I'm in the process of making a grand rustique* for when Mrs Poacher arrives exhausted from her travels.
If I remember (and it looks OK!) I'll post a pic of it later.

* pretentious git alert. It's not really a grand rustique; I've made it entirely with type 55 flour, whereas I'd normally use a proportion of wholemeal.

Many years ago I went to a Gilbert and Sullivan concert in which Richard Baker was the host. He was immaculately dressed and his silky smooth voice I can still hear. Delightful times.

Can't buy yeast around here for love nor money.
