I had to go to the clinic where the school nurses were based Would have been 1954 May have been required re the employment of minors.

I was 3 years old.

Is this right ...?

• Oats are pretty much the unprocessed product. Often fed to livestock.
• Porridge oats are rolled oats which still have most of the fibre and take some time to cook.
• Oatmeal is a more processed form of rolled oats, with less fibre and quick to cook

I like the seeded ones - a bit of extra flavour, nutritional value, and 'crunch'!

Basically Yes.
Add around 50% extra to the cooking time, and any liquids that you add. You'll have to soak them longer as well.

A bag of them is cheaper than a decent sized box, as bought in the shop.

Ah, this talk of rollups....I've made lots of those and some, not many, were made from tobacco. The ZigZag guys used to have a little roller machine with a belt and two rollers, but we thought if you can't do it yourself you've probably smoked enough already.
Now I need to keep whatever wits I still have about me so there will be no more rollups for me.

Don't smoke, but from those that do, using the piece you mention marks you out as someone who should stick to buying ready made cigarettes.

I once saw someone riding his bike no hands while smoking a spliff and rolling his next one...

Probably ever so slightly more distracting than driving while using a mobile phone!

Was this after he passed you, or were you on foot/heading the other way?

Ah... Fireworks - I'd forgotten all about that business this year!

It sounds like someone up the hill from here is having a bonfire party. Either that, or the War of the Roses has kicked off again...

Nah, we all stayed home for Halloween!

All this talk of oats. I used to make a lot of flapjack and my own muesli and granola. I found Kavanagh's oats from Aldi are by far the best quality both for cooking and straight forward porridge - my breakfast of choice.

Morning all, a day for staying in bed I feel as it is very wet and windy out.
