I don't get Donald Trump, or maybe the problem is I do!
I think Climate change is a great example. People like Trump say, I don't believe in it, well where is their expertise on the subject? He thinks USA should burn more coal, and abandon renewable energy.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Totally agree Muddle - up, l can't abide candied peel either, horrid stuff. Also can't eat those bright green and golden glace` cherries, l search out the natural ones. I did once use dried pineapple in a Christmas cake, that tasted yummy. I always add dates too for a nice chewy, gooey bit. I only marzipan the top, but a nice thick layer. It has to be royal icing for us, all peak
Try again, all peaky with a plastic snowman on top. I also hate those silver balls, ruddy filling smashers. You've inspired me to make a Christmas cake now. Who cares there'll still be some left for Valentine's day.
Stuff is cheaper on the internet because it's either a) a fraudulent copy or b) they've saved on the costs of shop premises and everything that goes with them - rents, business rates, fittings, storage, transport, insurance and most of all sales staff with all their hiring/training/wages/insurance and pension costs.
I don't like dried up little bits of candied peel or glacé cherries in any shape or form. However, near here there's a patisserie wholesaler who does proper, juicy, sticky strips of candied peel which I blitz in my chocolate orange fudge cake and they do dried cherries which get soaked and plumped up in the mix of rum, cognac and cherry brandy and whatever else I have to hand when I make a Creole Xmas cake the week before Xmas. No icing of any sort though I did do a proper Delia once and top it with glazed nuts. It's yummy.
I hope Trump doesn't get his planning permission. Apart from the fact that you can get proper spiked wellies for wet golf, experience shows that sea walls and barriers just move the problem along the coast. The RSPB and NT are actively investing in coastal flood plains down the east coast to save other areas from damage and to create wildlife refuges. Seems to me a perfectly logical thing to do with a golf course.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Hosta - I think the residents of Troon should capture him on his next visit, strap him into a bogey, wheel him out to the beach and he can personally keep the tide back - a la King Canute....
Oh - and hang one of their Mexican flags round his neck while they're at it.
It's a half hour drive for me - I'd go along with my camera
He's a repellent creature.
...and is he hoping the Mexicans will build that one too?

It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Pdoc, just hope the U.S. doesn't get Trump. . . . .

Oh the delicious irony of it all.
Trump has applied to build a 7metre barrier along the coast next to his golf course in Scotland to
" protect from rising tides due to Climate Change"
from the man who said it was a conspiracy invented by the Chinese to hurt u.s. industry.
Flood away golf course, you won't be missed.
I had one that was giving trouble a couple of years ago. In the intervening time while I waited for it to arrive - not long - it fixed itself.
On the principle that something that fixes itself breaks itself, it's gone up in the attic to wait.

anything which deters golf, and golfers is always a plus.
Obelixx - this is the sort of stuff I love http://www.emeraldfoods.co.uk/glace-fruit
Just wish I was a bit nearer Cambridge. I can get most of this in Norwich, but from shops at a premium price. The market stall is much cheaper.
