I guess that they didn't include an indication of pronunciation either then?Apparently scones were mentioned in Virgil's Aenaid around 29 BC, but it's unclear whether the ancient Trojans put their cream or jam on first.

He was as sharp as a pin on things like that. He was a very difficult person to con in any way.your mate was sharp to spot it
The first time I saw them in '91, me and a mate got in for free because he'd arranged an interview with them at The Jabez Clegg in Manchester. We had a pint with them, they signed my Back In The D.H.S.S. album and we nearly got to photograph them outside The Salford Lads Club as a spoof spin on The Smiths which they were up for but the manager said they didn't have the time. The second time was somewhere in Derby (can't remember where), me and a girlfriend paid to get in that time. I was taking photos with an SLR just for myself and their manager asked if he could use some of my pics so I ended up mailing him the roll of film. I've no idea if my pics were used for anything. I didn't know them or anything, we only got the interview because we were selling an indie bands fan zine at the time called Galore.And there is a reference to the Flake advert in that song too......I had no idea that one of the ladies had died before it was aired. I have the 12" of that song. I loved Half Man Half Biscuit. Saw them live a couple of times.
I saw them at Reading around that time too. I can't remember the exact year but certainly not later than 1990.I first saw them in the small tent at the Reading Festival (Nick Cave was on the main stage) in 1990 and was delighted to find audio of it online.....There were people climbing up on the poles holding up the tent....
The second time was at Liverpool Poly a year or so later. Shame you didn't get the chance to do the spoof Smith picture - sounds like you might have got some great photos.
OMG!! Scargie! That is disgraceful! Selling something like that online! I'm appalled.
How I wish I was in England with all you guys. Would love to visit Whitechapel and go on the Jack The Ripper Walk Tour.
Oh, to be in England...
Pfft, what a wimp.People travel from all over the world to visit London.
I wouldn't travel the 20 miles from here in Hertfordshire TBH, unless there was some pressing need to have to do so.
Mmmmmmm!! My motto in life is 'there is nothing that can't be improved by the addition of custard'. I love Bird's. To be honest, I have never tasted custard as beautiful as the stuff my grandma used to make. So delicious and creamy. Always the same taste, consistency and colour. I can still taste it today, probably 35 years since I last actually had the pleasure of eating it.Here in the USA, we used to be able to purchase Bird's English Custard in our local supermarkets. Not anymore, now I have to get it on Amazon. Bird's Custard on apple pie, mouthwatering!
Oh it's nothing to do with distance - it's because I know howPfft, what a wimp.
We have some Bramley in so I may make apple crumble later.Here in the USA, we used to be able to purchase Bird's English Custard in our local supermarkets. Not anymore, now I have to get it on Amazon. Bird's Custard on apple pie, mouthwatering!
*nods *Good grief - just make your own custard ferchrissakes!
It's simple enough. A spoonful of cornflour, some boiled milk, egg yolks whisked into caster sugar, some vanilla extract, and VIOLA!
I haven't looked up a recipe or anything, I'm just guessing, but that works in my mind.
To be fair, that engine was probably built soon after WW1 ended. It's taken 100 years to be arsed to get up here and make my acquaintance.Oh it's nothing to do with distance - it's because I know howshitdisappointing London is.
With Ketchup I presume?We have some Bramley in so I may make apple crumble later.
I prefer crumble over pie because of the texture. Crunchy crumble, chunky apple, creamy custard. Mmmm.
With Ketchup I presume?
I don't know if I could eat your parsley sauce recipe.Good grief - just make your own custard ferchrissakes!

I avoid shopping in Morrisons because when I do there's always a mistake or I'm overcharged and I have a row with them about it.
…Amy the checkout blonde bombshell, who works the tills on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday’s from 2pm to 9pm…
PS, don’t tell Mrs DT.
Oh I always, ALWAYS check receipts.It’s the same with me and the coop Scargy. Normally I don’t look at receipts, but I do in the coop. And I make I check the receipt before I leave the store.
If it wasn’t for Amy the checkout blonde bombshell, who works the tills on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday’s from 2pm to 9pm, I wouldn’t bother with the bloody shop.
PS, don’t tell Mrs DT.
That's a pancake anglais, not a crêpe. The American pancake has more in common with a drop scone than a pancake, the pancake should be as you describe.My mother used to make Lemon Pancakes, which I assume are really crepes, thin, from scratch, and rolled up with lemon juice and sugar, and drizzled with lemon juice on top.
FTFYIt's taken 100 years to get up here
Are you kidding?? I have a hard enough time making sure an envelope of the Bird's Custard doesn't come out lumpy, it's a definite process!Good grief - just make your own custard ferchrissakes!

He's right though, confectioner's custard isn't hard to make. It's also more versatile than the packet stuff.Are you kidding?? I have a hard enough time making sure an envelope of the Bird's Custard doesn't come out lumpy, it's a definite process!

london is a wonderful place to visit, so much to see and do, its just a pain actually living here.People travel from all over the world to visit London.
