[Tech1] Domestic query

[terrymeadowcroft]

Hi folks,

When I was a kiddy, only a few ;-) years ago, my Mam (Lancashire) used 
dripping, which I guess was today's lard, and I remember after Bonfire night 
we always had 'Bovril and Dripping' Sandwiches. They were very tasty.

This was in the days when nothing you enjoyed eating was a guaranteed step 
closer to cancer.

I's still here, at 73. Mam died at 94 years old, Dad at 95. Guess we were 
lucky and we had the right genes; cancer never did threaten - despite bacon, 
eggs and sausage breakfast before being packed of to school, from the age of 
5 to 18. Mam and Dad were not smothered by threats of being guilty of just 
about everything that was wrong, as weren't we all....

I say, bring back Bovril and dripping sandwiches,...and chips, and, oh, 
welly bobs and fishing in the beck for eels - using a fork with barbs on!!

Terry
