Evening all hope youve all have a good day and you have some thing to look forward to this weekend . We all need a little treat even if it’s just getting a take away coffee 😀
Am happier than I have been for a while knowing sail racing hopefully restarts on the 29th , I’ve missed it so much . In fact after consulting my financial advisor ( Mrs exlaser) I have even put in an offer on a new ( to me ) boat . Cannot seal the deal until after the 29 th when the stay local guidance is hopefully removed, but even if boat is rubbish it will mean a nice day out to the marine lake on the Wirral.
PS Another vote for tomato sauce which is much more common in the midlands than brown, think you need to get north of Brum before you get to the brown sauce lovers lol . Though my grandad loved brown sauce and he lived all his life in and around Telford . 😀

Got back from my ride as the tree guys were finishing. They let me know an ancient pot made of steel from Vietnam got crushed. I told them it was a pot brought back from my service in Nam and held the ashes of my best friend who died in my arms. How were they going to make this right? Then, of course, I had to let them know that was all BS.
The ride was great. Now to spend the afternoon putting back all the stuff which was moved for the tree trimming.

Why not put a fried egg and some baked beans on top ?I fancy Cod roes on Marmite toast, smothered in HP sauce for supper.

Am I the only one who never have ketchup, brown sauce or marmite? On the other hand, I like mayonnaise and home made vinaigrette.

*Soft or hard yolk?
That would be a dinner course - not supper.

So my gas story. We have British Gas Homecare. Once a year an engineer turns up and services the boiler. This particular time the engineer was a similar age to me, BG all his life, very experienced.
He arrives and says "I can smell gas in your porch." Shuts everything down. Makes a call and inside two hours there's a team digging up our backyard.
When we bought our house in 1982 the gas meter was in the back room. The gas main came underneath our porch, through an 18-24" stone wall and in to the meter. We had this moved to outside in the backyard.
BG dug up the backyard, found the original gas feed in to the house. The feed was still open and had never been blanked off. For approximately 36 years we had a live uncapped gas main underneath our porch floor.........BOOM.
Guess who moved the gas meter for us? British Gas.
After digging up the backyard it took three weeks for BG to fill in the hole. They have one team that digs holes. A different team follows round filling in the holes.

Why is Marmite such a bone of contention ? I must try it and see what all the fuss is about. Can anybody recommend a good brand of oven chips ? My Mrs got some a while ago and I threw out the box/bag before taking a note of the brand. They were delicious, Can't identify them in the aisles. They came with a sheet of paper to line the baking tray I think. Have a fierce hankering for chips , fish fingers n beans drowned in vinegar n salt. I am going mad ( madder )
