  1. Love it. I'll have to give that a try as sweet and savoury together is by far the best food combination IMO. I love Soreen malt loaf and mature cheddar and I was mixing sweet and salty popcorn long before they started selling it in the shops (people thought I was a bit loopy until they tried it themselves). I was also putting salt on chocolate for years before fancy artisan chocolatiers did it and a pinch of salt in hot chocolate is absolutely delicious. One of my all time favourite dishes is Boebotie, a South African specifially Cape Malay/Afrikaaner concoction which is kind of like a combination of egg custard, shepherds pie, bread and butter pudding and curry. It's absolutely mad.

  2. Eating cheese with fruitcake is a fine Yorkshire tradition. Really works.

  4. Yep, cheese and apple is a classic combo.

  6. You really would think they might have learnt, but clearly they haven't.

    First paragraph of the report: A police motorcyclist who crashed into a pensioner while escorting the Duchess of Edinburgh through London has choked up as he told a court it was a "tragic accident" which occurred in circumstances that he had "no control over".

    Banner headline

    Royal outrider 'had no control' in fatal crash

    So absolutely no change to the meaning by the edit then. The headline clearly infers that he has lost control of his machine, which is absolutely not what he said.

    Mrs GG used to work for them and absolutely despairs of how their reputation has dipped.
