Beetroot tomorrow then.


I'm familiar with the arguments for and against - I've done a few residential juice fasts where they teach a lot of that - but it does get way more nutrients into your system than you could manage by eating the foods whole, so a quick way to catch up if you've been eating unhealthily, and you can reduce the sugar spike by having all or mainly veg. If you have digestive problems it can also be a useful way to give all that a rest. There's been a big increase in IBS since fibre became fashionable in the late 70s, though it's just one factor among many, behaviour being the biggest (it turns out there's more than one point to table manners).


My father always said that a good marriage is based on a similar level of intelligence and a willingness to discuss someone else's bowel movements. Mind you, he has been married three times so there may be more to it than that.

I do wonder how healthy these kind of products actually are. When you make a fresh juice or smoothie it starts to separate and discolour very quickly (depends a bit on the machine you use), so to keep them looking fresh they have to be emulsified and heat-treated in some way, which kills off some of the nutrients and enzymes apparently. There may also be small additives that they don't have to declare, or so I'm told. God know what Innocent do to make a smoothie last for over a month.

PS, anyone who posts up some contrived anecdote about a friend of a friend at some non specific northern university who got scurvy because all they ate was pre cooked porridge for a term / variations thereof - you will go straight to the top of the Peckham rye head shot festival guest list.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
