Have you tried Google for old school meals Dea?

I quite agree Jonesey!

Except - about 15 years ago I had someone come arounf to quote for new double glazed windows!

They started off on about £16,000 - they stayed 'forever' but came dowm to about £10,000 - We said 'no' as we NEVER buy from people calling at the door (like you!)

However, the phone rang just then and my husband went to answer it and by the time he came back I had got him down to around £6,000 - I said we should agree!- So we did!

A couple of days later we had a phone call from the Company saying that the Salesman had 'made a mistake' and had 'misquoted the price' - then another one a few days later (from his 'Manager' again, saying that he had not included the French Doors etc!!!

I told them to 'forget it' as I had a signed contract which included EVERYTHING for that price.

Succcess !! - they backed down and installed the lot!

Hi,

I agree with both Dea + Jonesey - bread and butter pudding [yum yum] other 'old fashioned puddings [yum yum] - sorry but you cannot beat the old puddings!!! and sooooo cheap and easy to make!!!

And - yes - before you say it - I stayed for school dinners and loved them! - best bit of school actually!!!!

We have glass panels either side of the front door and we have a notice stuck on one side stating Cold Callers will be reported to the police. I think I picked it up from a stand at the hospital - Age Concern maybe??



Just watching the new hygiene programme on BBC1 - it's not easy to watch. Apart from fake booze being sold in small shops, they are also investigating restaurants and have just been to a ladies house. Dear oh dear. :-S



Birdseed pudding rings a bell - or am I thinking of birdseed cake? That was made with linseed if I remember rightly.

I just dont tolerate cold callers, its rude to call at your home.....NO THANK YOU is my answer and the door is closed

If I want to buy something, I go in search for it, I dont want people banging on the door in the middle of dinner with the family

Ive often had to rescue JB from them!

I have just opened my 'Christmas box' of 'Chocolate bawwwwls' (as my 3 year old grandson chistened them).

Ferrero Rocher - I didn't like them so I think I will let him help his-self when he comes again on Friday.

He did say that 'I think thems needs eating up " !!!
