Eldest daughter went vegetarian when she was 16, it only lasted a couple of weeks 'cos I made some bacon sarnies one morning! Middle daughter has been vegetarian since she was in her early twenties, now in her forties and when we go round to her house I always have vegetarian meals. Can't beat a good roast though when we go home. Youngest daughter loves meat and fish.

I live about 500 yards from the beach and go down there with the dogs a couple of times a week. Love living by the sea. Always a few cafes open on the front and usually have a coffee after walking the dogs.

My father was the same, I remember him telling me he was in Teheran and his superior asked him to drive between some oil barrels in a courtyard and that was the only test he faced. Never involved in an accident in his life.

Spuds and herring when times were hard (probably make a comeback very soon). Queenies are my favourite but they aren't half getting expensive!

Hi Oz, Chips, cheese and gravy is the Manx national dish... Chips, cheese, and gravy is the national dish of the Manx people. It consists of deep-fried potato chips, grated Manx Cheddar cheese, and beef gravy. This local specialty can be bought at many of the island's takeaways. In order to prepare the dish, chips are first deep-fried, topped with grated cheddar, then gravy, which melts the cheese. Every year, on the last Monday of January, chips, cheese, and gravy are celebrated with their own day, called National Chips, Cheese & Gravy Day.

For the best!
