Cerrertonia 27 Nov 12:43pm, 27 Nov 2024 22,368 posts	0 Cerrertonia We had a day out in Harrogate on Friday and went to Betty's. My wife commented that Harrogate was for posh old people. I pointed out that we probably qualified on both counts these days. Also made a last minute decision to go to the Glow thing at Harlow Carr - it was surprisingly good. Also, per GlennR's blog, you can pay more than that in Suffolk. theguardian.com

Cerrertonia 27 Nov 1:34pm, 27 Nov 2024 22,369 posts	0 Cerrertonia Someone I know slightly has been running a mince pie tasting thing. He's had them from all the supermarkets and compiled a league table of the various brands, had about 25 different kinds, none of the expensive ones though. Perhaps not surprisingly, he has almost no remaining teeth. Cooplands Brandy (1), Cooplands Classic (3) and Thomas the Baker (2) podium spots on his list.
