The wife's sister married a man of Kent - his reaction was somewhere between hilarity and horror. Still not won him around to the idea.

Ah, civilisation hasn't quite reached the East of the Medway then.
Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice. Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.
Well, I've learned something from that ... raisins are actually from white grapes, even though the raisins are dark. I never knew that.

I believe you are/were a hiking/walking/outdoorsy sorta guy? A pocketful of sultanas, raisins with a few nuts added is dead handy when you're out on the fells. Better than the broken mintcake or the ageing Mars bar that always turn up in my rucksack pocket, anyway.

Raisins are tough rather than particularly chewy and should only ever be eaten on the verge of death.
Sultanas burst in your mouth, taste vile and should never be eaten.
I have never tried a currant.

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy-sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself[/b]

Nowadays I eat them in moderation.
I eat mine in teacakes.
Our deli/baker has just changed hands and we've finally got a proper baker again, he even knows what I mean when I ask for breadcakes. His teacakes are amazing, they're about the size of a flat cap and he brings them out of the oven at 09.15, so they're still hot enough to butter & eat without toasting. What's more, he only charges 30p too

My stir fry's are the standard fall-back when I walk in the door and ask all three of them "Whats for my tea then?", invariably the answer is a silence so the wok comes out and five minutes later I'm sat with a huge plate of grub and they're all staring wondering where the hell I got that from.
