Clotted cream is a better substrate for jam on a scone than the ordinary variety, thought it's the people who use the "ready-whipped" abomination from a can who pass all understanding. Depending on the cream available, I personally will apply jam first or after the cream... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted September 19, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 19, 2022 Clotted cream should be the default setting for a cream tea, irrespective of its order of assembly. It just gets too messy with any other sort. John 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a watercourse but a lake. When my son was four we visited Furzey Gardens in the New Forest, in late March IIRC. We were looking at the big carp in the lake, which come to the shore to be fed, when Martyn slipped on wet clay and fell in. I immediately stepped forward to fish him out but my feet didn't touch bottom so I had to tread water as I grabbed him and passed him to his Mum. I climbed out ok but was totally soaked, as was the lad. There was a blanket in the car so he was wrapped in that and SWMBO drove home to Southampton as fast as was sensible. Hot baths followed. There wasn't time to even think about the depth but I was surprised. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video, or it never happened... Did the same thing myself once, stepping on a rock that turned out to be a bit of rock-coloured mud! Went into the mud up to my thighs and none of my so-called mates would help me out because they were laughing so much. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Jonboy Posted September 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2022 My dad and I were out photographing a former canal. My dad stepped onto the “soil” in an abandoned lock and promptly sunk to his waist, a farmer was using it as a convenient slurry pit…. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronL Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Part of the campaign to Give An Old Joke A Home ... One morning a nun was walking through the cloisters of her convent when she saw another nun coming the other way. She smiled and said "Good morning, sister." The other nun smiled and said "You got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning." The nun was puzzled by this. She had been polite and friendly, and given the other nun no reason to think that she was in a bad mood. She walked on, and soon met another nun. Again, she smiled and said "Good morning, sister." The other nun smiled and also said "You got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning." As the nun continued her walk through the cloisters this kept happening. No matter how polite and friendly she was, her greetings were met with the comment that she had got out of the wrong side of the bed. She began to feel quite frustrated by it. Finally, she met the Mother Superior coming the other way. "Good morning, Mother Superior," she said. "And please don't tell me that I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning." "I wasn't going to," replied the Mother Superior. "But why are you wearing Father Murphy's shoes?" 2 1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KeithMacdonald Posted September 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2022 A woman gets home and tells her husband, "Remember those headaches I've been having all these years? Well, they're gone." "No more headaches?" The husband asks, "What happened?" His wife replies, "Maggie referred me to a hypnotist. He told me to stand in front of a mirror, stare at myself and repeat 'I do not have a headache; I do not have a headache, I do not have a headache.' It worked. The headaches are all gone." His wife then says, "You know, you haven't been exactly a ball of fire in the bedroom these last few years. Why don't you go see the hypnotist and see if he can do anything for that?" The husband agrees to try it. Following his appointment, the husband comes home, rips off his clothes, picks up his wife and carries her into the bedroom. He puts her on the bed and says, "Don't move, I'll be right back." He goes into the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later and jumps into bed and makes passionate love to his wife like never before. His wife says, "My God! That was wonderful!" The husband says, "Don't move! I will be right back." He goes back into the bathroom, comes back and round two was even better than the first time. The wife sits up and her head is spinning. Her husband again says, "Don't move, I'll be right back." With that, he goes back in the bathroom. This time, his wife quietly follows him and there, in the bathroom, she sees him standing at the mirror and saying, She's not my wife. She's not my wife. She's not my wife. His funeral service will be held on Saturday. 1 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
