I was eating oysters the other day so might not be able to comment on the desirability of wet cheeseburgers.

I’ll stick with a Wimpy Bender pleaser.

You should see what a Kellogg’s Sugar Smacks Thunderbirds figure fetches on ebay these days.

Looks more like cheese rolls.

Who was the chef at Bunkington Hall I wonder?

Not Grandma Tracey by all accounts. Let me munch on something from the Jam Butty Mines of Knotty Ash while I consider the options.

The real Sweeney was rather wasteful. Far from letting Mrs Lovett make pies, he just dumped his victims in the St Dunstan-in-the-West crypt (and the resulting smell is how they caught him).

Talking of quirks, why do you mainly say “fork and knife” rather than “knife and fork”? Silver service not your forte?

He made a documentary about his and others’ experience of such conditions, Your Own Worst Enemy. One of the people interviewed was a fellow who had to eat nearly raw liver as a counter

And you lot think cheese rolling is weird ...

One of the Carry On movies has a moggy known as “Cooking Fat”.

The undisputed queen of Porthmadog is Cookie. She brightens up any trip to the supermarket despite having lost a leg in a fight with a fox.

Ouch ! It’s in Knightsbridge. Hope they give London Weighting.

One small hop for can ...

An old friend had a bit of a freak out when she found the pork in beans while we were holidaying in the States. 

Beans for his tea. Evening meal.
