By the way Gerard, have you seen in the news the curious yellow stuff that has been washing up on the beaches along le Cote d'Opale?

I can't imagine Bauble's reaction if you mention any pollution on french beaches. Lets wait a bit it won't be long… Robert, la question de Jean est la suivante: what is this yellow stuff found along the French shore?

I should have put money on it because I just knew you would say that.

...and no, it isn't sand. Presumed to be something dumped by a passing ship.

Delicious, but you must only use the youngest, smallest leaves. Paradoxically the ones that sting like f**k.

There's money to be made- One of the best English cheeses is Cornish Yarg, even though the green outer covering is actually nettle leaves...

I see that the major traffic disruption on the A2 yesterday was caused by a 'Lorry Fire'. What didn't get mentioned until today was that its cargo was Lion Bars, and that most of the problem was molten chocolate, with resultant difficulty clearing it off the road....

Mmm, molten Lion Bars.
