Celebrity Chef? Clown Chef more like. How old are you?

I know I am harsh on this blog sometimes but, hey, that's what blogging's
all about isn't it?

I have set up a radio system in my bedroom now so I can end and start the
day with my favourite BBC Radio 4. This means that I can then watch
Breakfast Television on BBC 1, having caught up with the world in bed.

Anyway, they had on "Celebrity Chef" James Martin to talk about tinned food.
Well, they would have done better to have me on to be honest. At one stage,
trying to defend his pathetic and ill thought out arguments, he said, 'Who
soaks peas any more? Serve marrowfat peas from a tin.' Clown! As he was
saying this, there just happened to be a goodly batch of dried peas ready
for me to cook for today's dinner ... I've already cooked them and eaten
half of them.

Tinned marrowfat peas are no substitute for real mushy peas. That chap calls
himself a Yorkshireman too: even more of a disgrace.

Then I got round to hiring a van for the weekend and was asked for my age:
when I told the young sounding lady at the other end of the line she said
'Brilliant'. Hmm, good!
