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.

This one. Exudes class, no? Very handy for batter mixes and fruit cakes and the like

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....
