Yep, but admit it girls; Smarties have never been the same since the introduction of those ghastly blue ones.

Did you know that the red Smarties are made from crushed Red Beetle shells and, if you try to take a tube of Smarties into the US, Immigration officials will remove all the red Smarties from the tube because it's a banned import?

Cochineal - from the Mexican homopterous insect, Dactylopius coccus.

I knew Smarties were a healthfood! At last, proof. You get protein and minerals from red Smarties. And I imagine red beetle shells have a low G.I too.

But they don't use it anymore. Modern day myth. Sorry!

Quick! I'd better sort out a strong 'reviver' for Al. As usual, he's given me a tip which has rocketed today and ....well, guess the rest yourselves. ADC is the nag in question.

Nothing yet, opto. But rummaging through the fridge and fruit bowl suggests an upside-down plum cake with clotted cream. Would that suit you, Sir?

Hello, Mr Magoo! Can I make you a drink or find you some lunch? Everything is on the menu, but I particularly recommend the Hot Roast Chicken, Roasted Cyprus Potatoes (with garlic!), and the tomato, onion and avocado salad.

Not too happy with the clotted cream P but the plum cake sounds nice, will have it with low fat squirty cream please (could be more healthy)

I thought I'd rustle up some orange ice cream with the oranges from the fruit bowl, opto to go with the cake, but I know what you blokes are like with the squirty cream ...so who am I to refuse you!?

Help yourself, opto. The gravy has fresh lemon, rosemary, szechuan peppercorns, soy sauce and french mustard added for taste but otherwise is just the juice of the birds. No OXO cubes here!

OK Priscilla I'll have some orange ice cream, squirty cream is always there but not hand made orange ice cream, not had that before!

Ermmm. The nearest thing that looked like a Cornish Pasty on the sideboard groaning with food was at the far left side, clearly marked ...'Poochy's Dog Chews!'. Oh, well, so long as you enjoyed it, I suppose. (I certainly can't see the plate of dog chews now though!)

Just popped in for Prissy's "reviver".
Next week will be different. I'll need the news sent to my desktop by 07:40hrs and then I'll grab a few bob off what you point out. LOL! It's a case of too many irons in the fire for me, but I will say NCC.

I'm sort of ashamed to admit, it was your comment that it had a great chart that made me look at ADC in the first place! Yep, NCC doing OK. And EMH. But ADC is still the winner!
Console yourself that at least you know somebody reads your early morning roundup .... and acts on the ones you highlight!
Another 'reviver'?
