  -caz-: As some have enquired, here's what I used :-
  
  2.5 cups of plain flour
  1 cup of white cane sugar not castor or brown
  2 teaspoons of ginger
  2 teaspoons of mixed spice
  2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda
  
  Sieve dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl
  
  2 desert spoons of syrup
  1/4lb or 100g of margarine
  
  Add marg & syrup in a saucepan then melt before adding to sieved bowl and mix
  
  2 eggs
  1 cup of boiling water
  
  Beat the eggs and mix in bowl then add the water to get a good consistency mix
  
  Prepare a deep loaf tin, I used a non stick tin smeared with a little marg, depending on your tin you might need to use greaseproof paper to line tin, preventing it sticking.
  
  Stick in the middle of a preheated oven at 170deg c or gas mark 3 for 90 minutes. Reduce if using fan assisted by approx 10 minutes.
