it was just that your post was aimed at Hutch, and i wouldnt have Hutch and sensible in the same sentence

Just because your disagree with everything I say, does not mean I am not a sensible sort of person.

i dont disagree with you at all. But you do go out of your way to sometimes post mental, argumentative, humerous, and sometimes abstract posts.

No Apples, no cheese, eggs that tasted like fish because they fed the chickens 'fish meal', urgh!

No clothes shops!

No meat apart from chicken and pork.

The 'old timers', original 'colonials', and the locals, (I worked for an African couple running a nursery), taught me how to make the best of the ingredients that were available.

Hutch was one of those locals, and he taught Machiavelli how to make a fillet steak from dry clay, dead leaves and water.

Less than complimentary is fine. Slagging it off is fine. Complaining about the cost of a single cherry tomato is fine. Hating the whole f'ing country because the locals shop barefoot and collect the post in their nighties - fine too.

But bare-faced lies ...

I have been sitting down by the river this morning watching the natives go off to work.

I find it quite touching how they have been able to fashion a primitive society in such a hostile environment.
