I used to love Milk tray
especially the Coffee

But they have now taken all the old choices out
and replaced them with yukky awful ones :-D :-D

Weekend boxes of chocolates by Mackintosh, I loved the lime ones drizzled with dark chocolate.

On a Friday afternoon my Mother would boil a big bone she had bought from the butchers in the Grainger Market. This would boil all afternoon until it near melted.
Into the pan she added barley, lentils, split peas. We called it broth. Have never tasted the like, none of it was wasted. I'm smiling broadly at the memory of it.

My childhood running free in the fields of my uncles farm feeding the chickens collecting the eggs riding on the tracker allowed in those days, eating pasties sitting around the aga at supper time and being put to bed on a feather mattress with a stone hot water bottle bliss

That is one of the points this strange report is carefully drafted to avoid.

It doesn't tell you very much at all.

So one day I might get my Sago back :-D :-D

Well, the sago palms were sort of damaged - in that loads died and it takes 5 or 6 years until they're of harvesting size, and the land they grow on was polluted.

The authors are local to ''where?

They also appear to be discussing the growth of sago, and other unutilized foodstuffs in general, not specifically after the tsunami

Rice Cremola.
And, blimey Motown, Anello and Davide. They were in Drury Lane, Covent Garden. I queued for ages to buy a pair of Beatle boots in 1963. They cost me 84 shillings. Or 4 guineas. In todays money, £4.20p. Can't even get a pint of beer for that now. By the way, the boots were surprisingly comfortable. Someone nicked them while I was stationed at Catterick.

I have read it too.

The article is incomplete, it evidently leaves out whatever those commissioning the study does not want to hear.

5 mnutes don't worry ;-)

Those who understand the concept of capitalism will know that there is a big difference between subsistence and trade.

The is a great deal of effort to take just to make me look wrong.

Ah well.

The sago ( the real thing ) was not wiped out by the 2004 tsunami though of course they were damaged where the water came up.

Here s a 2014 paper crafted by some locals who should know what they are talking about.

I do like rice but in the oriental style not the horrible product usually served up in the west. Sadly bad cooking is not something that has become a childhood memory :-(

Huntley and Palmers Breakfast biscuits!

decent good quality toys that you do not need to take a mortgage out to purchase.

I know - sadly!!

Whistling? That's sexual harassment now!
