A Lark Ascending Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) Jeez, I saw some tape on the news over the weekend of a colossal flood somewhere in England. There were torrents of water rushing through (and over!) a town nestled in a valley. I couldn't believe no one died. That was Boscastle down in Cornwall. We're lucky in the UK in that we rarely get natural disasters - flooding seems the most common if you live in the wrong place. There's real concern for this year's harvest. If the weather keeps up it will rot in the fields. Bad news for farmers. Compared with Bangla Desh however, our worries are insignificant! Sorry, this is the nice thread...

A Lark Ascending Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 As a teacher I get the luxury of a nice six week break in the summer. This makes the return to work in September all the more hellish - the getting up. So one of my favourite things is the first Friday night at the end of the first week back. The moment your head hits the pillow and you know you don't have to get up at an unearthly hour the next day. Mmmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catesta Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Bev, please have one of those arks ready for me. I would prefer light colors with a leather interior. We've had something like only 3-4 inches of rain here all year. I could use a change. They announced on the news this morning that we're heading for the wettest August since records began. That could be a little too wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainyDay Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Talk about perpetrating a major fraud. Yorkshire pudding is not pudding. It's a dinner roll.

A Lark Ascending Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Bread. Hmm! So do you all cover your bread with roast beef and gravy? Stranger by the minute. You can also buy Yorkshire Puddings the size of a plate with meat and gravy inside; or even a cumberland sausage! A meal in itself. Now a close relative of the YP is Toad-in-the-Hole. Same batter mix. Different arrangement with bangers in the middle. Is this a "dinner roll" too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Meloy Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Same batter mix. Different arrangement with bangers in the middle. For the benefit of our American chums "bangers" are sausages. For the benefit of any Australians "sausages" are "snags". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
