CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Kippers for me please socs, any white bread avaialble ?

Sorry so late replying Spacie. I was out buying some more white bread, the baker had to go hospital. Overstrained himself from too much loafing.

Just spent some more time dismembering an old television stand, quick trip to the tip on monday coming up. Her indoors is pressuring me to dispose of all my "might come in useful one-day" bits. Got her eye on moving soon methinks.

Good afternoon all. You may, or may not, have noticed that I steered clear of the Cafe this morning. If there is a practical joke going, I usually fall for it hook, line and sinker.

I must say that I didn't fall for the BBC classic spaghetti harvest though, anyone knows that spaghetti comes in tins and that there are 57 varieties of it.

Good aftenoon Socco, it's surprising how many people believe that spagetti grows on trees, I know better, I know it's dug out of the ground like potatoes.
That out of a tin is just an imitation.

Morning all, nice day in Hasting, the only cloud is that I have to go to the dentists todays for 2 fillings.... I hate and fear the dentist...

Socs, I too am under great pressure from Mrs S to get rid of some of the essential items I have kept, she seems to think that having 2 garages and 2 bedrooms completly full of useful, but not currently needed, things is unreasonable. Good job she doesnt know that I have another stash of stuff at my Mums place ;-)

Good morning Spacie, hello all. Tea is on and the usual vittals are all fresh and ready. Now must see what the market is up to.

Morning.

I've Just come out from hiding because the dustbin men have just been, they strike fear and terror into all and sundry. At any moment they might strike you down with a note accusing you of putting the wrong kind of rubbish in your wheelie.

Morning Socs - sounds like your dustbin men are a bit enthusiastic!
Wish we had a wheelie, we're stuck still with horrid black bags here, even the recycling goes in plastic bags, slightly daft when you consider they collect glass!

Danish warming, tea's up :>)

Good morning Bunny. Wheelie bins are fine except that they all get left all over the place. Gone are the days when a "dustie" would collect your bin, empty it and then return it.

We have plastic boxes with lids for recycling, guess what, they are made from recycled plastic.

I've just exchanged some e-mails with a chap in Kuwait, its sunny out there, oddly enough.

Well I never - sunny in Kuwait ;>)
Going to be quiet this week I guess, many taking a well earned break..

Yes, I guess a few will be starting the Easter break early and likely some will extend after Monday too. No need for that to stop us making the odd trade though.

Can't afford not to Socs LOL

I'm back! You didn't even notice I had gone, did you?

no

Good morning TIM.

OK quiche and salad for lunch with crusty new bread or if you're fussy and think 'real men don't eat quiche' which is total crap but I know the myth persists...so if you're worried eating quiche there's also some cold gammon to go with the salad and bread.

Quiche? Is that fried or boiled?

Sauteed in butter just like the snails.
