The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I remember mum using the Bero books too. Sadly, I never showed any interest either from her or at school, hence my complete lack of cooking skills.

My son is a self taught chef and never needs to check menus. I, on the other hand, although I enjoy cooking have to have a list of ingredients in front of me.

I remember Nigel Slater, a chef saying that recipe books are in reality are only a guide. You can alter and change things to suit your needs or tastes.

Why not indeed? That's what they do with the Highway Code.

Good for you.

What puzzles me is, there must be many people in a studio for a TV production, so, many people must have observed such behaviour. How does he (or anyone else) get away with it more than once?

Is the incidence of such behaviour evenly spread across the TV channels, or, are BBC world leaders in this?

Program is made by Banijay productions , a independent production company .

A BBC news flash came up as I was about to log off.

Greg Wallace "Now, in the newspaper I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age just from Celebrity MasterChef."

Does this man not understand? What an appalling, disgusting attitude and opinion to hold of women. To my mind these remarks demonstrate he's clearly an unreconstucted man with no understanding of or empathy for the challenges women face in society. If he's found "guilty" I hope this ends his career.

Rant over. Sorry.

Spot on . I worked in a car factory for over 30 years , where there was plenty of ‘ banter ‘ that often crossed over to bullying but even there no one would ever of thought of doing the ‘ Willy in a sock thing ‘ with women present. Mostly because it would have meant instant dismissal and quite rightly so in my view.

Night night all .

After a wet start it turned into a nice day . Had a good sail ( my result was poor but I enjoyed it all same but I really am going to have to change to a different class of boat that suits the reservoir we sail on or change to a bigger club/ reservoir soon ) so things are good with me . Unlike mrs exlaser who unusually didn’t go well either which didn’t go down to well , things were a little touchy this afternoon lol.
Nice the see the problems with the site seem to have been sorted too .😀

Sleep well everyone

A long, long night ahead.

Morning. Windy with rain blowing through. Supposed to go off soon though so should get a wander.

I might drive over to visit one of my dad’s old neighbours in the village. I like to keep in touch with them as they were good keeping an eye on dad when he got older.

I have risen!

Good morning from a chilly but clear Dorset. Mrs Tkk has a dentist appointment mid morning so we'll walk into Poole around the Holes Bay footpath/cycleway. Need to book an eye test and I can do that while I'm in town. 🤓
