Pineapple on pizza is a hugely controversial topic. I agree with you, cheese and pineapple is a winning combination. ah but is it a Bwitish pineapple ? The big question on everyones lips ? But it could have been — had the UK actually taken advantage of its regained sovereignty and started growing pineapples once again, as happened in 18th century Britain. The fruit was so popular that they became architectural features of buildings on many landed gentries' estates... |

Upon reading up , it appears they were mainly grown in England , and possibly a few grown in orangeries in Edinburgh , making them either English and Scottish pineapples , or if we add them to the ones grown in France and holland for example , then they were European....................... |

There's even one on the top of the Wimbledon's men's trophy, seen here being held by British tennis player Andy Murray.   |

How was the curried haggis? Delicious. Take a haggis, mash up in a bowl, add cumin, coriander, etc, then roll into balls and deep fry in a tempura batter. Works a treat, and every year I say I'll try it myself, but haven't got around to it yet.. |

`Some hae meat , but canna eat , and others dinnae wahnt it.......
I want to build a small platform for my mobility scooter. Nothing clever and only about 2 square metres in all, but it requires a lot of grubby about on my knees, so I decided to call in a professional.
Who has just quoted me £500.
It was amazing how fit I suddenly felt. I have just spoken to B&Q and arranged a delivery of £60 worth of decking, which, along with a pot or two of coffee should see the job done.
The NHS has numerous treatments for arthritis, but I find one of the best is the British Tradesman's grip on my wallet. 
....but we hae meat , and we kin eat , so let the lord be thank it` jack Daniels borkie? You dont half drink some guff down there in Peckham. You would think with all that whiskey revenue scotland sends down to your treasury , you could afford a half decent bottle of the good stuff. We can Tommy.
That is why we drink Jack Daniels, Suntory Whiskey, El Dorado rum and such.
And mostly we feed turnips to the cattle. You have cattle ? I know the front man of the Fabulous Fezheads is known as Pig Farmer Phil and admits the neighbours above and below him in his Croydon flat kick up a bit about the smell at times, but I think even he would hesitate to start a herd of Aberdeen Angus there.... |

Don't knock it until you try it.
I have a blind friend who wants to have a miniature horse as a guide dog in her Hampstead flat.
She is an aristocrat from the Scottish Borders and therefore fucking potty, but it has to be said that the manure would be useful on her allotment

if i understand correctly the pig(s) in question are in a field across the road from said flat… but whenever he mentions his agricultural entrepreneurial adventure it does kind of raise an image …. |

In the mid seventh century Louis XIV built Versailles and nearly bankrupted France. The French brooded over this for a century and cut Louis XVI's head off.
Charles II stuck to women and gardening. The former are pricey, but still not as expensive as builders
