Can't stand that greengrocer who holds his fork upside down,shovels in the food and eats with his mouth open. the judges in these programmes remind me of the jaded king in chitty chitty bang bang.
You forgot to mention that he also seems to think it necessary to shout all the time on every other programme he does. Annoying or what!
I like the factory programmes that he does - well l like the information in them about how things are produced. OH and l have a bet how long before he asks "Can l push the button ?" on whatever piece of machinery they are looking at. Sometimes you can see the barely disguised annoyance on the face of the person tasked with showing him around.
The GW mag came today but I must admit to being stumped by the spot the difference competition. Anyone managed to work it out? The pictures are on page 119 and 131.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
My mum asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I said an hour of free time would be the best present. She laughed. Then she sent me a box of chocolates by post which arrived while I was out. It took an hour to go and get them from the sorting office They were very fancy chocolates though, my wife thoroughly enjoyed them.
My major gripe for the day though is the new ice cream van that's going around. I can't do any gardening without the teddy bears' picnic tune getting stuck in my head now.

He comes round my way too. Must have a big round. Have a hole in the fence from the last but one storm and my neighbour hasn't repaired it. He has two dogs, so I got him up early this morning so he could come round and remove the mess they have made in my garden. Grrrr
This morning, OH left the hot tap on in the bathroom basin. I found it at least an hour later......... Water, water everywhere - enough to rip down the dining room wall below! - so got on and mopped up. No hysteria, no panic. Very calm under the circumstances.
Now, he's sat going thru his accounts and asked me what I'd spent 15€80 on in some obscure establishment in La Roche. Nag, nag. No idea, so I googled. Turns out it's his purchase for cinema tickets to see The Favourite. I get an urge to throw all my blood oranges at him and the limes too (strange scene in the film) but I will be calm and make blood orange and chili marmalade and lime pickle as planned.
Anyone seen his marbles lying round?
