Susan, there's some lovely non alcoholic wine available now, even better when nicely chilled. The rose looks like the genuine thing, but the white looks a bit like pee, although both taste good.

Some people drink their pee..cheaper, I suppose

Hi april  I think I have tasted it when out to a friends house for dinner.  I am very much a coffee person in the morning and water after lunch.  I have tasted Yorkshire ale once and it was disgusting

Susan, HOW brave!! The only time I drink beer is when I go to France/Belgium and then I drink the little fat bottles of "blond beir" which I suspect no selfrespecting Yorkshireman/woman would touch with a bargepole!!!!

Hi april  I think Margot takes her cooking very seriously I bet she likes a glass or two of wine the mind boggles what she is like after a half bottle

[susan]

April you are right a true Yorkshire person likes a big pint of ale with a good head on it sat in the pub talking a load of rubbish usually after three or four pints

Err, beouf bourgignon WITHOUT wine, coq au vin SANS vin, haggis WITHOUT scotch and sherry trifle WITHOUT sherry!!!!!

[susan]

april Margot is such a perfectionist with regard to her cooking did you know she has 3 daughters and two sons don't know how she found time to cook.

I'd love to say things are the same "down South" but sadly our pubs are closing at the rate of knots, so rubbish has to be spoken without the aid of ale!!!

Well April I would think there's plenty of rubbish spoken at home with ale instead these days.  It's just too expensive to go to the pub the way we used to.

April in my part of Yorkshire the local pubs have all gone and the churches are disappearing fast now turned into flats what a shame lovely stone buildings with stained glass windows all gone. Villages are no longer villages as all the little shops have closed lucky if the school has been left.

Ah bless, and her only 4'10"!!! It's enough to make your eyes water, isn't it? Still, Queen Victoria was the same height and she gave birth to 9 but I don't suppose she had Margot's attributes!!!!!

[susan]

Hi Mags  folk in Yorkshire use to go to the local for a pint and a good chat about everything and anything everybody knew each other and they really use to enjoy themselves my Dad never missed one night going to the pub always went at 9 p.m. and came home about 11 p.m. and what rubbish we without the ale had to listen to.when he got home

[susan]

april  do hope Margot is not going for the nine I think she has enough on.

We, too are losing our villages. The heart has been removed because "locals" are fast disappearing, their children can't afford the cost of the houses now being built, some 1million+. The newcomers have different needs, nannies for children, cleaners and gardeners and those locals who are left feel they no longer have any say in village life, not that some ever wanted a say!!!
