So fridge is ideal but they take up a lot of room and, if you are eating 5 a day, you will get through them quick enough for room temp storage to be perfectly adequate. Bananas turn black in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you all the way up until polo fruits as I haven’t seen them in years and they’re not chewy enough. Fizzy cola bottles top the list for me. Actually, do you still get the cherry fizzy cola bottles? Used to spend my lunch money on a massive bag of them at least once a week!

My tomatoes are braw at that temp. I also grow heaps of Roma tomatoes in my garden that I juice up into sauces which I freeze into batches. The outside temp can be 35C in their optimum growing months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A conversation we've had a thousand times. The one person I don't even try and win arguments with as it's pointless, i only have a watered down version of stubborness compared to her.

I forgot about fizzy cola bottles! They are going on the list when I can free up some room in the drawer. Should be possible to get through a fair bit tonight as its a Friday. I dont like cherries so I am not sure if cherry fizzy cola bottles are still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the toffee too hard and brittle. I am more a connoisseur of fruity sweeties right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rummage in her handbag when I was desperate for sweets and find the odd one amongst her hankies. Sometimes part of the hanky was sticking to it but I didnt care, I was a wee fat sweetie fiend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are mint imperials. Pan drops are bigger and flatter than the restaurant mints. https://www.treasureislandsweets.co.uk/gone-but-not-forgotten/pan-drops.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Another thing that is pissing me off is the brightness of car headlights. Wtf is going on with them. I need to drive on a poorly lit country(ish ) road home and it has been really awful this year. I am getting practically blinded by both the cars coming towards me , and those behind me. I initially thought folk were driving with full beam on but it is happening too often for it to be that. It is bloody dangerous when you come round a bend, in particular . Does anyone know if headlights are getting brighter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
