Just want to say thanks for this wonderful - er - whatever you call it,that I've just read through. So entertaining and the best laugh I've had for yonks. As well as informative. (Oh-0h. He's a newcomer)

It's no use saying "They taste best like this". Taste is (say this in a stage whisper) 'a matter of taste'. If somebody likes eggs runny, as Jackie Mason would say, well that's their problem.

Hasn't anyone been keeping careful records over the years of how long they boil their whatchmcallits for ?!?

Best wishes

Ivor       P.S.I s'pose i'll have to make this thing a favourite.
