I don't think the thread is turning ugly -- it is an important topic, and the fact that a tiny minority seek to derail it should not be reasons for deleting or locking it.  If that were established as a precedent, then it would be only too easy for someone in the future to deliberately derail a thread just in order to get it removed or locked.  Those of us interested in civilised debate are quite capable of ignoring those who are not.

I get this mag from my local TA.  They just get the one copy but never read it.  If anyone would like it drop me a pm and I'll pop it in the post. Quite a few good features on the trade.  It seems some TAs are being naughty and are still using chicken stock in their base gravy, for veggie dishes.

I can just see Nigella who looks lush and is available at the minute, apparently.

Edit: - In fact after a lot of locally brewed real ale --- Very Lush.

And after another drink and looking at Nigella, there's certainly a crisis  .

And not wanting to agree or disagree and after a night out for a retirement do basically talking politics ( I do have an opinion though), perhaps we should have a 'Down At The Pub' board.

Interesting bit in the Nigella one about the haggis munchers using cheap beef to pass off as lamb.
