Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
I don't like the sound of black pudding, and in fact rarely have a cooked breakfast except if I stay in a British hotel. I even get put off by the cold meats, cheese selections and hard boiled eggs for breakfast when I'm in Germany, I stick to cereals and fruit. With my flat in Ladenburg I didn't have the patience to do much for breakfast, but I couldn't find decent bacon anyway.
I'm back home from hospital and am waiting for a cleaner to come. It amazes me that she is so energetic and efficient, and also has a second job which she described as "in entertainment at a hotel."

Cereals with milk and real Devonshire clotted cream makes a delicious breakfast, but beware of too much of a good thing.

Aries...Hope your feeling better did you know they now do a white blood pudding...I like it.
Yellow finny haddock I think thats what my mum called it. She use to boil it in either milk or water and then we had it with butter on it. I really enjoyed it with potato and peas......
Celticspirit...Glad you enjoyed the wedding have you decided what you are doing yet. Sounds like you are feeling a little better.

What does it cost for an order of chips? You know with the economy the way it is we have to forego the fish.

The 60 metre wheel is back alongside the harbour, much smaller than the London Eye, but still an attraction for tourists.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Exactly as Fish says, £3 for the piece of battered cod, £1.50 for chips, this from a simple residential street take-away chippy.
For a sit-down chippy expect £5 plus.
In a decent pub-resturant expect £8-£10 as main meal.
Most expensive yet, £16, yep £16, and this a lunch-time meal, not even full size dinner, for battered cod, chips , crushed minted peas (i.e. frozen peas, not mushy) and tartar. This in deepest Norfolk where the posh folk like to indulge themselves when they come up from London.
They describe themselves as
With its dedicated team of chefs, the kitchen delivers a constantly evolving menu of imaginative modern British food.
Using only the best local and seasonal produce, sourced from a plethora of Norfolk suppliers, many of whom are located within a 30 mile radius of the kitchen, the food represents the best of Norfolk.
The **** also offers a list of popular wines and a fine wine list featuring vintages from some of the world’s great estates.
We visited for a pint, saw the food prices, noted that a Ploughman's with Pork Pie is an outrageous £12 and then went across the road to the butchers where we bought two pork pies for £2.50 and enjoyed them on a bench on the green while waiting for the bus.
Typically in decent pubs ( I can't think why we always end up in a pub ) expect £8 or £10 for fish and chips, similar for homemade (not factory frozen) burgers and chips.
here is a sample menu (expect maybe a 5%-10% increase on these 2 yr old prices) from a Norfolk market town pub that I rate quite highly. http://www.thewillowhouse.co.uk/PDF/...nu_Aug2011.pdf

Our takeaway at the local chippy runs £5.50 for a large cod and medium chips and hubby and me split one order between us. Lord only knows how I ever put away that amount of food on my own, I'm stuffed on a half portion these days so I reckon at £2.75 I'm a pretty cheap date

Off the subject.
Some of you have cats so can you tell me if there is a way of determining a male over a female.
We feed alley (feral) cats and we would like to know the difference.
cheers

Gotta lift them up and check their privates. You might be able to see the older males on the ground if they have TWO BIG ones ;-) usually the skulls are larger on males also. I am seriously not trying to be funny.
