Re: Where NOT to stay

From another forum: We've just received a load of emails on this subject which I thought I'd post here. I know that it was all a mistake and that the hotel and the individual are sorting it all out but I thought you may all be interested in the strength of feeling from our allies. Quote: Message: I ...

biscuits/cookies/cake

Not having all of the ingredients for any of the recipes that I have, I just tried making chocolate biscuits without one. 1st lot came out like 'snaps', 2nd lot looked like cookies but had the texture of cake!

Re: The Best Cocktail you ever had and who made it for you

The Mojito is the slightly queenish king of cocktails. I'm happiest with Zubrowka and apple juice, a Polish Bullet as it was known in my bartending days at Revolution. If in need of a mocktail, neat elderflower cordial makes pretty much anything taste amazing. + not a cocktail, but if you must drink...

Re: Where NOT to stay

I thought it might be the case that there had been trouble in the past. We're not THAT nasty around here you know. I can see the hotel's point of view in this. You could ban black people from Brixton in case they have a riot. Same logic. Its prejudiced discrimination based on occupation. This may h...
