Mercia, I apologise for my crass remark last night. Having read it back I realise it was a stupid, cruel thing to say (I refer to the Corrie comment). I can only hope you will believe that I said it in a light-hearted way, trying to make a joke out of something that is clearly not funny for you or for your dad.
So sorry lass, it was insensitive of me. I will ask the Ed to remove it.
PS: I think your menus are fab. Wish I lived near Brum.....I'd be trying to wrangle an invite to one of your dinner parties. I love my food....a tad too much, if truth be told. :o)
