Mac, in THIS neck of the woods, that's called a Bedfordshire Clanger - honestly google if you wish, hence the saying "dropping a clanger'

It's only OK Mrs Reid..........if you've finished the ironing and put the vacuum cleaner away..........then you can have your sarnie and go to bed.........have you ticked all those boxes..........good,......good night Mrs Reid sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite. (thats what mummy used to say to me,and she was a good Prince Rock girl).

I don't mind admitting it, but i'm reasonable domesticated.........having retired three years before my beloved..........I took on all the washing machine duties and I am quite a good pegger out.........(she cant remember the washing cycles anymore)..............make the bed everyday..........do all the washing up........and a reasonable amount of the shopping as well.......I don't expect any extra brownie points thankyou.............I expect sensible does all that as well (I don't think).

It helps to keep me out of mischief........well most of the time.

You're a good 'un Plymborn, I could do you you around this place, oh ad btw, my mum was originally from Prince Rock too
 
<ok> Spot on Mexijan....but best beef cut is skirt as has a little more fat but still tender to give a little gravy. Also turnip not swede...you must be a posh bugger:laugh:
Spot on too Westernmac, seemed an excellent invention years ago.
Made a Pasty last week but cant get hold of any turnip! here except for the white but still hit the spot alright.
Gasping for one now! :emoticon-0107-sweat
 
199 Embankment Road on the corner with Grenville Road, big double fronted place.

Back in pre-history and during WW2, my grandparents and their three daughters all lived there for awhile with their families (crowded is the word) the men where in the forces.one in the Navy,two in the RAF.

Googled it recently looks just the same accept for three TV dishes,looks like flats now.

The youngest sister still around,lives down the road at Billacombe........got to be 98/99 now.

Mum was the eldest sister.......the middle sister was in Singapore when the Japanese arrived.........got out on the last boat with her three month old son.........never heard about her husband again ( a lot of them ended on the Burma Railway construction.....and died by the trackside) so when she got back to Embankment Road it was very hard to live with.

All this talk about things in pasties being wrong yet nobody has commented on plymborn's domestic chores. That is so wrong plymborn and I don't care when you retired or how long before the lady of the house. What was wrong with her doing the washing when she got home for god sake. She could have done it whilst preparing the tea, Give em an inch and before you know it you are the hired help without pay. Having said that I did put the rubbish out this week.

They keep finding unexploded bombs in the Prince Rock area even to this day plymborn. What with you and Mrs Reid, how on earth did your lot upset the Hun that much that they kept trying to find them? There was nothing unusual in the "old days" for multiple families to be living under one roof and especially pre-war. There was a massive build of council properties just after the war and if you look around the City there are a lot in the 1947-51 bracket. This pretty much put paid to the multiple occupation problems.
 
That is the Plymouth that I remember,and used to visit with my parents..............dad being in the RAF for all of my childhood, I lived on many RAF camps.
 
Sensible............isn't it time you loosen the shackles around your beloved ankles and let her eat her gruel in comfort, before returning her to the attic.
 
Sorry Hp but I have to disagree there swede, aka the yellow turnip (Brassica
napobrassica) is a must, the term turnip refers to the white turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) and whilst a vaguely acceptable replacement should only be considered under extreme circumstances.

Prime rump best cut for me plus I have a secret trick unfortunately if I was to share this old family secret not even 00sh7te DS could protect you all!

No swedes, turnips or anthing similar here <wah><wah> still home in a few weeks for the first home game and an oggie or 10.
 
mexijan I eat the food I DO NOT feed her with it or prepare it or shop for it or cook it or wash up after or.............well you get the picture.

I absolutely 100% agree that the ingredients of a pasty are absolutely 100% paramount. I appologise for the weakness shown in my former life but having eaten all sorts in my time when not fully in charge of my limbs, it was understandable at the time. In retrospect I should in fact beat my self severely. Pass the smoked makerel.
 
Sensible that would be a waste of a good Mackerel. Plymborn, your old property is now in 3 flats as most of that area, i have a property in Clayton Place that will be converted next year into 3 flats also. Large houses.
 
Mackeral is in the post Sensible probably take 2 months to get there with Mexican post but in fairness the crime was so heinous that a rotting smoked mackeral has been deemed as more appropriate, though due to your full repentance and assistance in identifying perpetrator and supplier of these abominations the nettles will be spared (hanging, drawing and quatering still pending)

Next you will be admitting to putting ice in cider or even worse some random fruit cordial!!!!!
 
I know Mexijan the the yellow variety a must but in deepest, darkest Cornwall they call turnips but have to make do with the white variety in Saudi. Also the ingredients placed in the pastry raw, not pre-cooked.

Make Oggies for some of my American buddies at times and they fight over the spare one who is going to take it home with them, especially after a good session or three!
Uh'oh! the weekend starts here tonight.:emoticon-0105-wink:
 
Speak or at least curse fluently in several languages unfortunately Cornish is not one of them Hp:emoticon-0102-bigsm

The other day I had an e-mail from some of the guys I worked with in China and they wanted to know when I was coming back as they missed my oggies, or roooggies as they pronounce them<laugh>
