Thanks, but could you let me know the required oven temp if using a fan assisted oven please?

 

Never knew this thread wasa quiz.

 

How many siblings did the last one have ?

 

Fourteen siblings, Rob. All sisters, hence the gayness.

God's Cock: Not sure about the temp for fan-assisted ovens. Could you email Mary Berry?

M: I may have bumped into Simon. Is he a Sikh?

UJJ: I played two rounds of crazy golf and thus secured eighteen holes.

New quiz on its way.
