Made me laugh, but you missed out that cigarettes were regarded as sociable, attractive and not at all harmful. Also, a man in Fife died from Covid 2.

My old Grandfather had a news agents and tobacconist shop and I can clearly remember the sign. Craven ‘A’. For your throats sake!

Also remember that breakfasts etc were fried in Lard’

I am definitely in the live to eat category, I love food and pretty much all cuisines, I cannot imagine given all the delicious varieties in the world what it would be like to live on meat and two vegetables all the time, seven main meals a week.

My partner, son of a pig farmer had never eaten a curry, pizza or Peking duck with pancakes until we started dating, he loves food but his parents were not adventurous cooking wise at all and his brother is the same, he’d refuse to eat a lasagna if you served that up for supper.

English cooking was always the poor relation to Europe, now times have changed for the better and I love the fact that we take other cuisines and give them the British touch, I mean who doesn’t like Chicken Tikka Masala, which funnily enough is now one of Andrew’s preferred curry’s

Couldn't agree more, but there is such a lot of junk food around also these days. I eat when I am hungry and don't always have a 'normal' dinner time. My wife is half Italian and when we are over there they regard eating as a social gathering. At breakfast they are planning Lunch and at Lunch they are planning dinner and there is always too much of everything, every day is similar, but their food and cooking is superb. I eat better now than I ever did.

I couldn’t agree more re Italian breakfasts!
We have spent several weeks in Lombardy- the first breakfast took us by surprise - just as one course was scoffed off, the next one arrived!

We had to say thank you but that’s enough- we give up, you win !

Do you think 11 Englishmen will say that tonight Ron?

I sincerely hope they don’t!

Me too!

They used to publish charts in magazines that started off with brands like Silk Cut in pale pink and Capstan Full Strength right up at the top in bright red.

So some schoolmates and I decided we had to try them out - never bought them again!
