I open the tin by using the can opener both ends, then push the thin end out the thick end. Voila.

Hubby always chooses Eggs Benedict on cruises, as the kitchen has poached eggs done perfectly.

Every time I see a post mentioning the Linga Longa fish and chip shop, I think back to our newly married life. We bought a new-build bungalow in Langar. We didn't have a street number, just a plot number, so decided to name the house. While thinking up names, we joked we could call it Linger Longer. Langar.

I never knew Rowan Atkinson played Maigret, but I have seen The Thin Blue Line which is brilliant!

I can remember the Gingham Kitchen
Little Chef was great, the Olympic Breakfast was good. I worked for THF Airport Services when they catered the aircraft out of EMA Charles Forte was such a gent. The one and only time that I got to go on board Concorde without flying on it was just to make sure the catering was ok. I knew it was, just needed an excuse! Lived in Castle Donington at the time and every time that aircraft got airborne everyone in the village went out of their houses to watch it.
I lived on Concord's flight path when living in Surrey, we knew the sound of it approaching and went outside twice a day to watch it come over. Also we took our visitors to Heathrow to watch it take off. This is in the days when you could go on the parking garage roof and watch it. Magnificent sight.

I was once told my an appliance engineer, never, ever, leave a dishwasher, washing machine or dryer on, when you are in bed or gone out. A lot can go wrong in your absence.

Escape.... Is the only unscripted Brit programme we watch. Can't believe how many people say Everythink.

So he showed you his nuts, eh? Mmm.
Going back to the big planes, I can never figure out how a big plane can take off and stay up there with all that weight! 747's particularly. So when they first rolled out the 380 I said, you'll never get me on one of those! Guess what we flew to Seoul on? Yep, and it stayed up there! It was tge quietest plane we've been on.

When we first came to Arizona, the Phoenix area used the bitter orange trees for landscaping freeways and main roads. Of course, nobody wanted to eat these oranges so the fruit would drop off and eventually the landscapers would remove the dropped fruit. I would see this wasted fruit and think of my dad. He made his own marmalade from Seville oranges and would have loved the wasted fruit. You don't see these trees anymore, replaced by regular trees now, dropped fruit brings rats. we don't see orange groves, corn fields and cotton fields either, just about all built on now. When we came almost 37 yrs ago, tge population was around 3 million, it's over 7 million now. That's progress!

I like porridge. I quadruple my ingredients, and divide between 6 Tupperware containers. I add a bit of brown sugar (or golden syrup) a tablespoon of chopped walnuts and tablespoon of raisins. 6 portions are big enough a portion nowadays. Fridge 5 and eat 1 that day. Then zap the others as needed. Only one saucepan to wash this way.

The Clangers was a tea time must watch. I loved it but it drove my mother up the wall.
Same for me with Lassie and Champion the Wonder Horse. The barking and whinnying got on my mother's nerves.

I remember getting our first colour TV a few years after we married. Not many programmes were in colour though.

Whenever the subject comes up I always wonder if Jehovah's Witnesses have ever converted anyone, anywhere at any time.
There's a joke about that.
2 Jehovah Witnesses rang a door bell, the old fella opens the door to them.
"Good morning, we want to talk to you about our religion " one says.
Short on visitors, the old man welcomes them inside. He sits them down on the settee, sits opposite them and says, "OK, what do you want to tell me?"
They reply, "We don't know. We've never got this far before!"

The same happens over here. No end of friends, over the years, have sent cash or a gift card to grandkids, inside a card, and they never get it. Sometimes the card comes, opened. As my mother would say, thieving gits.

Lizzie, I correspond with Trevor S regularly, and Michael Booth is a FB friend, so both are still above the grass, so to speak!

Things our parents used to say
in Nottingham Lingo
Posted
It rained yesterday afternoon, lightly at first, but then so heavy, the noise of it was louder than the telly. I said to hubby, it's tazzing down. Obviously you can take the girl out of Nottingham but not Nottingham out of the girl! I surprise myself sometimes with my old sayings.
