I have read it too.

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

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.

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

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

It doesn't tell you very much at all.

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

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.
