(I think eL Bee! would drop dead from shock if I asked him WHAT he wanted for dinner. On a good day, it's, "Would you like some food?")

I had leftovers, i.e bubble and squeak, and bacon. Shop at Waitrose, you can choose, self service, single basket, do the whole thing with one of those remote control thingies or traditional, AND they talk to youa ll the time. No Riff Raff mind. anyway, I am now sure Nigella is selling something new. sorry but I am.

You are not 'at the gee gees' you're watching horse racing at Ascot on a corporate entertaining junket. In fact, you're probably not even looking at the horses.
