PS - also very keen on the last option (except not "zip" on the books, obviously) and so - Jamie Oliver's new App has reviews like I've never read before...

An(other) English lover of the Silver Palate. I inherited my nana's copy and was with her when she bought it in London in 80's. Sorry to hear this news, RIP.

LOL Forestdweller! Eee its grim oop North alright.

Would that all rural poor had been able to call their homes "Sleddale Hall".

It is the remains of a (sizeable) farmhouse, of a landowning family, one of whom was first mayor of Kendal - and lots of people lived happy and fulfilled lives in Cumbria (finest place on earth). Wordsworth quite liked it.

So you can cheer up now!

No styrofoam in the first pic, though? It was solid enough to climb on and a quite different texture

Also, thaumatia is right about offering tea or coffee in England. That's so funny. I hadn't really given it any thought but now it is pointed out... if it is not offered I would be likely to mutter later "...they didn't even offer me a cup of tea..." or "they didn't offer me tea or anything". Very funny (esp since I may well decline the offer). ...I probably sound about 100 now.

I don't mind people inviting themselves to stay. I like my American friends - also friends (or friends of friends) from other countries in Europe.
(Don't really understand the bit about "US standard", lol. Are my polite US friends roughing it a bit then and not telling me.)

In Delia Smith's recipe, only half the strawberries are pureed. The rest are in chunks (which really are crucial to eton mess).

All for leaving the self-righteousness out, somedude!

I like irony tho’. My “surely not” was also an - ironic - joke. As in "Americans have no...etc" when I know quite a few who do. From those parts of America I have visited, of course ;-)

Agreed with the view on Britain and North America’s impact on Sweden in your more recent post. Thought including Sweden as a collective Europe responsible for “the beginning of our collective decline” re the Industrial Revolution was up to a Brit (particularly one from Lancashire like me) to do the “mea culpa” thing instead.

Anyhow, on-topic. Sweden, recycling good. Germany too. Thought the Times article took UK quotes out of context from a clippings file and was maybe dated. But yes, we do have to take it very seriously being such a tiny overpopulated country. I have found it interesting from these posts that the LA approach is much more voluntary than I had imagined. I think LA was the first place I ever SAW aluminium recycling and that was nearly 20 years ago.

LOL! Sweeping authorative generalisations about "Europe" or "Here in Europe" (from expats currently in one small corner of the continent) are relentless and pitiless throughout ALL sites in AT.

Somedude... even continues to do it here with, surely not, no sense of irony. What IS that swipe at political reforms in Europe. All of it? England could certainly do with some of the political reforms Sweden has (us being different COUNTRIES n' all) on many issues besides recycling. Conversely, the Industrial Revolution started in Britain, and was developed in N America it has little bearing on what was happening iin Sweden in the 1800's.

Even so there are no recycling concessions to the pretty big crowd in London. Its a must do. No ifs or buts. All ages, all nationalities or viewpoints.

So once you get past the tone of MissL's reply in a second language much of the globe, esp parts of US AND various countries in Europe, could do well to follow Sweden's example.
