    Cake related questions weren't on her script  ;)
    Strategic deployment of cakes is a good tactic ... I may use it again .... or perhaps I should try Spag Bol or Irish Stew ................. liver and onions anyone?

    Didn't folk talk about " parliamentary sovereignty" during Brexit? 
    If we support Boris, then we can't complain when any PM in the future chucks his toys out of the pram and suspends parliament to get his own way.

    Hello all!   :)

    Back from floor-scrubbing and wall-painting duties in Ireland, in our new bungalow.  Now I'm trying to make sense of a lot of garden fruit... can't freeze much of it since we're moving in October, by which time the freezer must be empty.  I'm just making apple sauce with some windfall cookers from the Irish garden; the tree is enormous, probably 25 feet or more, so most of the fruit will end up falling off... don't know what  variety it is, but the flavour is lovely and they look pretty too, pale green with a pink flush:



    I'm going to post a photo of a mystery shrub, growing in an overgrown garden in Co. Clare, on a different thread.  It smelled gorgeous!

    On more serious matters - thank you, @Hostafan1 - that is precisely the problem.  Whatever we think of Brexit we can't let Boris take the law into his own hands, even more so because he is controlled by a highly unpleasant and unprincipled unelected adviser.  This is not democracy.

    I can imagine the uproar from Boris et al if Corbyn was in power and tried to pull the same stunt ... if something is wrong it’s wrong whoever does it 😡

    imagine if Blair had just shut down Parliament before invading Iraq??? 
    Forget Brexit, that's not why folk are angry, it's the fact that no PM has used this power since 1642, according to a " Constitutional Expert" on radio on Thursday

    Back from town.
    Unfortunately things started to get a bit unpleasant, when the protest was hijacked by some EDF type thugs.
