Queenie, apart from your av giving me nightmares, plain shop-bought crumpets, grilled with lashings of butter.

I don't usually do tea but I do fancy a crumpet now that you've mentioned it. Can I have it with butter and marmite please :o)

[mccfluff]

mmmm i fancy tea, don't want anthing to eat, having a curry later :-)

[queenofmean]

Aww I prefer the foldy-upy ones

[nungate]

Do you mean that Tai if scaring you Alba? Queenie will be so pisadointed, he's her current favourite speedway rider.
I'll stay if you have custard tarts :-)

[albaqwerty]

a decent empire bisuit has plenty of jam in between the biscuit top and bottom with decent icing on top.
Queenie likes the ones with the yellow squishy thingy on top :-)

Tiggs, for you my dear, you can have it with marmite xx

I saw a TV programme recently that featured a variety of tomato called Intense. They are the ones to use if you don't want soggy tomato sandwiches, because they don't leak juice or water into the bread. Can they be bought in shops, or are they only for the catering trade?

[giveup]

Instead of the cucumber I'll have a drop more gin.

They look nice,thanks bookbinder.
