MrWolf Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 It's a long time since I last went to Polperro. It's a good spot to start out from and visit lots of other places. Staffordshire oat cakes are good, particularly when filled with well done bacon, black pudding and grated cheese. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted September 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2021 57 minutes ago, Andrew P said: Never heard of them, sounds interesting. Wiki is your friend. Chorley cakes are flattened, fruit filled pastry cakes, traditionally associated with the town of Chorley in Lancashire, England. They are a close relative of the more widely known Eccles cake, but have some significant differences. The Chorley cake is significantly less sweet than its Eccles cousin, and is commonly eaten with a light spread of butter on top, and sometimes a slice of Lancashire cheese on the side. A Chorley cake is made using currants, sandwiched between two layers of unsweetened shortcrust pastry, whereas an Eccles cake uses flaky puff pastry, which after baking is normally a deeper brown in colour. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted October 2, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2021 Safely home from the land of pasties and cream teas Absolutely peeing it down for most of the journey which wasn’t very pleasant on the motorway but I just took it steady so it took longer than it should have It doesn’t help that I take notice of the advisory speed limits on motorways, if it says 50 that’s what I do even though I believe you can choose to ignore them if you want too Never ceases to amaze me just how many drivers don’t bother to put their lights on when visibility is so poor 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 It never ceases to amaze me how fast assorted a55clowns come flying past at 80 or 90 when you can't see fifty yards. Still, they're invincible in their boxes laden with safety gadgets aren't they? 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I seem to recall reading can't remember where or when, that road safety would be substantially improved if instead of air bags there was a sharp blade fitted to the steering wheel. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
