Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

We owned Great BC for a while - loved it aesthetically, but to the best of my recollection never cooked from it.

MrsP still loves her Dairy Cookbook, so I'm not knocking that. MrsP might have it - is it like an old school exercise book size?

In answer to your mis-posted question Greppers, yes. Very much a yes. Especially if you can pick it up for a quid in a charity shop like I did.

I like the Floyd programs a great deal. I do not own a book....I guess I would go France...but and up coming away from second hand shops with odd sci fi as much as anything.

My Mum had a Marguerite Patten cook book. She was a big influence on Rhodes and Slater, I read.

Away from the charming tributary of cookery tomes, what a fascinating DM this is? So many stirring memories awakened from long-forgotten but deep-rooted emotional viewing and reading experiences.

David Hemery was the first athlete who touched my consciousness as a lad. One of my favourite quotes of his is “One morning in Boston, it was snowing so hard that I didn’t think anybody would be going training, but I went down to the track anyway. Billy (Smith) was there, though. He opened the door and said: “The road to Mexico is out there.” It sticks with me now.

However when recently faced by Steve Redgrave’s statue by the river at Marlow I realised, David will have to step aside this time.

It is difficult to decide based on athletic achievement, well for some, so In the main I am going for people who I sat and watched and thought that is excellent....
