I usually "sweat" all my soup veg in olive oil first anyway...are you saying that I need to add some more olive oil whilst soup is simmering away?

I sweat them too ( no nastiness being said here really). I do add a little olive oil when simmering si senora M, to give it some extra goodness.

I'd love to know what you mean by that. What is the link between the two? If the thread has become tedious for you I can understand, but it doesn't mean it is for others(though this one isn't my cup of tea). It is the Lounge after all. The Drawing room is there for more serious debate.


Anyway as I'm here, my contribution:


How to Burn Toast


Insert one or two slices of bread into a toaster


Turn the temperature up to max


Wait until smoke rises from the toaster/or toast pops up


Remove burnt toast and scrape to taste

Love it Declan...but don't go away...please


Do I presume you are Irish? If so, do you have an authentic recipe for colcannon please...you know, something which your mum would have made as opposed to a Delia (no disrespect to Delia) recipe please?

Your Ladymuckiness, how could I possibly know what you presume? But I am indeed Irish. As for colcannon, shure thats just cabbage and spuds mashed up isn't it? I don't know if my mum made it or not as Mrs Bridges used to do most of the cooking!

I think all kids do...my mum (French) used to make all these exotic French dishes which we didn't appreciate at the time, but bottom line was we too always preferred egg and chips...or sod the eggs...just chips. Ah, mum's chips...nothing like them.


Erm...being half Irish, don't suppose you have an authentic recipe for colcannon? And what is coddle? Actually, I'll go and google coddle.

Here it is: http://www.scotlandforvisitors.com/recipes/irishcoddle.php. Looks easy enough (take note brum);-).


WARNING: do not ignore the health and safety advice!::o


If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.

    • Thanks that’s all really useful.
    • Looks like they have massive issues with numbers of visitors too... “People have literally just arrived and are refusing to leave. Chaos. They booked out all the lane spaces but let people in. Absolute sh*t show.” https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/were-police-called-to-brockwell-lido/
    • I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣 Quite apart from the fact that these are supposed to be community notice boards, there are all sorts of reasons why they should not be used for private businesses to advertise, as I and others have already said. Yes there have been huge changes in the area, but I can't see how those changes affect the purpose of community noticeboards, unless you think that the changes mean that there is no longer a "community" in East Dulwich. Which would be very sad indeed. Anyway, I am stepping away from this thread now, I have other things to do 🙄
    • From experience, it's the norm that the local authority reject appeals regardless of facts. Suggest you appeal and highlight that you followed the requirements by using the app to log the parking session and the failure of the app / network to register this is a technical issue beyond your control for which you can not be held responsible for and accordingly not penalised. Also that the traffic wardens records confirm you were parked for less than the free period so again should not be penalised. Do a search on web for similar appeals The 'fight back forum' website used to be very good for people sharing there appeals experience; and looks like this is no longer running but try https://www.ftla.uk I've appealed loads of Penalty Charge Notices for myself, friends and family and all been successful. In approx half of the appeals the local authority did not even respond and were won by default.  Re 20p fee - check if you you have text message alert 'on' as these are generally charged for and if so turn it off to save text fee. Hope this helps For Clarity, you need to follow the process, so have to first appeal to the local authority that issued the PCN (sounds like you've done this).  Then you can appeal to the London Tribunals and the local authority have to tell you this and tell you your reference number to submit this appeal.   Also when you submit appeal - choose 'no contravention occurred'
