    Impressive @chicky.Ā  I shall show my OH as I have given him drawn plans of where and how I want our raised beds to be and he has failed to "interpret" them.Ā  Ā Not any more!

    Have spent a strange morning doing an online Teams chat with 15 and 16 yr olds for this cookery lark.Ā  The British co-ordinator is a complete ****** who can't cook and doesn't know the difference between Pan Haggerty and Bubble and Squeak.Ā  She also told them the British call all desserts "pudding" and all puddings are sweet.Ā  Ā Pease pudding anyone?Ā  And she's from Northumbria for heaven's sake!

    For some reason, they are fascinated by baked beans for breakfast and asked how we cook them.Ā  "Open a tin."Ā  Ā They now want to have a go at making their own from scratch......Ā  Ā Fine by me.Ā  They also want to knw how to brew a proper cup of tea.Ā  Ā Yorkshire tea for the eejit but Darjeeling or Assam for me on the rare occasions I drink it.

    Anyway, next session in 10 mins and then off outside into the sunshine if it's warmed up enough.Ā  -5C in the small hours.

    @D0rdogne_Damsel I have the book and can maybe scan the plans if you can't get the book.

    Wow! @chicky, you should be on Gardeners World!

    I like Yorkshire tea @Obelixx, am I an eejit?

    Cold and frosty this morning but sunny.

    Hi all

    Love it @chicky, it should be on tele.

    SO, Harry marries a black woman, gets vilified and driven out of the country, plus loses all his military roles / medals.
    Andrew, probable paedophile, is allowed to slink off peacefully, no loss of military honours.
    Is that fair?
    I am fairly pro royal, BUT this makes me wonder.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Monarch, heir and a spare.
    Cut the rest adrift and let them fend for themselves.

    Totally agree @punkdoc.Ā  They are fabulously wealthy in their own right anyway @Hostafan1 Ā Certainly compared to us!

    No, @Busy-Lizzie, but the eejit doesn't seem to know about other tea varieties and not always having milk in it.Ā  Ā She also thinks vegetarians eat fish.

    We're sorted now tho.Ā  Ā It's going to be a calorie fest!

    Thing is Harry was the spare ... and got used to it ... now he isn’t and he isn’t used to it and she doesn’t understand it ... a lot of it isn’t about race ... it’s about two tidally different cultures.Ā 

    And the UK media treated her appallingly ... the Mail and Star used the most racist clickbait to pander to the vile right wing that exists in this country.Ā https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/08/media/uk-media-meghan-race-diversity/index.html

    The royals ignore the press ... but as an actress Meghan learned to nurture her public image in the media so she read it and didn’t understand why the Royals didn’t set their lawyers on the press to protect her.Ā

    I think William is the spare ( Charles being the heir ) .Ā
