    I would be happy to go out for a toasted cheese sandwich @Tidemark, fancy or otherwise. But then cheese is my favourite food, toasted or not.

      Does anyone remember when British Rail Stewards walked down the aisles serving up coffee from jugs? That always tasted nice, but we weren't so sophisticated and discriminating in those days.

        Thank you @NigelJ :mad:

        I was having a most wonderful Saturday morning reading the forum and considering eating some chocolate when I read the article and learnt that weeds can be considered antisocial behaviour. :yikes:
        I have since spent an hour improving my social rating and cursing that both young Verbascum and Primula foliage look exactly like young Dock leaves. :th scifD36:

        Around here some front gardens are truly wild with weeds, some are tended, some used to store car skeletons to tinker with and some even have hot tubs (yes, in front garden by the gate). But everybody lives in harmony and chats happily over the fence. :)

          My weeds are tended and I’m proud of them.

            Apologies for spoiling your Saturday morning, you still have the chocolate to look forward too, with the added warm feeling of having weeded your garden.
            I think in part it's down to the tyres and the small size of the garden and not being able to find the frontdoor.
            It does appear that they have trapped an elderly lady and dog inside when they secured the property.
            It makes me realise that my garden is not really that bad after all.

                    Is it me or is it the teensiest bit ironic that Morrison's the SM now sells a fat jab (£129 a month, rising to £159 after a trial period)? So now you can get doughnuts, pizzas, soft drinks and jabs all in one convenient shop. Hmmmmmm! :scratch:

                      I'm hearing stories that when you stop taking the jab, you eat twice as much as before. So it's a win-win for Morrison's really.

                        :yikes: No wonder they seem so keen to expand (good word in the cirs ;)) into this area of "merchandise". I apologise to Morrison's for mistaking a business decision for irony.

                        :biggrin:

                          I hadn't heard that and personally I find it very worrying. I'm not sure where responsibility went from this country, why is it always someone's else's fault, not ours and when did cheating become the way to go. In this case cheating is a jab to reduce weight when the answer for most is to revaluate their relationship with food and exercise. I believe we are just causing problems, potentially health issues with side effects or mental health, with this "solution".

                            Surely there's enough fatty food on sale without paying £100 plus a month to have more fat injected into you ? Just eat a block of lard - must be cheaper :biggrin:

                            Oh, I guess I got that backwards. I thought the "fat" jab meant something like Ozempic to force weight loss. :scratch:
