. Although it has its detractors, I really like it and have been buying it religiously for years. We find it invaluable when travelling to a new part of the country. One has to eat well !

That and the fact that they give you four £5 tokens to use at restaurants, one would be keen to try anyway; which pays for the book. Genius :biggrin:

I'll watch tonight- Thanks Nicola

Bapi, its 10x £5 Vouchers for 2006.

Marvellous - I am going to use all of them at once at your place next May. :biggrin:

Did anyone watch the programme? I thought it was very interesting from a social history perspective. Especially, how the British trait of not wishing to complain about risible food was inculcated into people, because of the hardships in getting food during and after the war.

BTW- Ordered my 2006 copy from Play.com at a bargain £11.99, delivered free :smile:

Bapi, what makes you think your welcome back, let alone with vouchers in your grubby little hand?

We'd be welcome because you are fond of my son and missus. That and the fact that we are actually willing to pay for the slop you serve up :biggrin: And my hands are never grubby.

Serious question- Did your score remain the same this year btw?

Yeah, i'll send them to Eberneezer Bapi for Christmas

I think you are confusing me with the "honourable" Yorkshireman above. I always forget to use my bloody ones, let alone use yours up. I end up trying to get rid of them every September before they expire.
