Sorry & thank you for your very kind words and to everyone else who has understood what I’m trying to do, bless you ❤️

Well I’m sorry you seem to have taken my comments so badly. They are MY thoughts I’m not promoting anything. As for running into fires that’s how I nearly lost my life, as a Firefighter. I guess how I feel & deal with MY health issue isn’t really welcome on here so the best thing I can do is...

It’s how I deal with it mentally. I care about how others feel of course but having once nearly lost my life I tend to put it into perspective

Fantastic and that is my view and I’ve been talking to someone this morning who has exactly the same view. I’m so sorry if I’ve upset anyone who may think I have a “don’t care” attitude, far from it. In the beginning I had the horrors roared down my throat but I’ve always kicked the trend. I...

Fantastic

Oh bless you, thank you for sharing that, I hope I don’t offend but that made me laugh out loud. My mum is now the opposite to when we were kids because she now watches daytime TV & reads magazines so she’a food expert. Mind you, it changes almost daily depending on what she’s read or watched...

One food I used to love and that was golden syrup drizzled into Yorkshire puddings just as they came out of the oven. The most amazing dessert but looking back now …… oops

TBH I’ve got no idea, my mum is from Hampshire & apparently it was a Hampshire thing but I’ve no real idea. As I said, I’m more of a savoury man. I live on the Essex/Suffolk border not far from Castle Hedingham and a lady there makes the most amazing pasties. They are called Hedingham pasties...

Think I’ll stick with my Hedingham pasties

Not one I’ll try then

I’m not sure where mine’s come from as I’m not a cake or biscuit person but 1 biscuit means a packet so we don’t have them in the house but anything pastry wise such as pasties or certainly bread I adore. I’m still not prepared to give everything up but they are rare treats. Full English is...

I’ve never tasted it but watching them make it I was absolutely shocked by the sugar & glucose content. Definitely not for me that’s for sure My mum often talks about Lardy cake & that’s another thing I haven’t tried

Thank you I’ve seen so many bad things in my life as a Lifeguard & Firefighter, I came close to losing my life at a fire and have like many others seen things that no one should see. I have like many others lost so many friends and loved ones way too early so if I can bring a smile to anyone’s...

Jam roly poly, plum duff, those were the days . I can’t remember the last time I tasted a steak & kidney pudding followed by a treacle pudding, delicious. Can’t touch it now but the occasional dumpling will certainly pass my lips. Nostalgia & humour is a wonderful gift that I fully embrace...

Have you read the content of the whole thread or just picked up on this little bit ?

I was watching TV this morning and they were showing how Kendal cake is made. Oh my days, that stuff has to be diabetes in a bar if you eat it regularly. I’ve had a lovely beef stew for 2 days now and have to confess I just had to have a couple of small dumplings but there was lots of veg. I had...

I think I covered quite a bit in my post “who’s to blame” so I won’t go into too much. All the advice given is great & what people are saying is that’s what works for them which doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you, but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed it just means move on to something...

Absolutely fabulous. Forget Metformin give me laughter every time

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined at the start of this thread would it receive so many responses. As I said earlier, from the moment of conception we are on our way out. We don’t know when or how but it is definitely going to happen one day. Some will have a smooth journey but...

Thank you. I’ll be good for the rest of the day
