	Have you got your glasses on CC??? only, I am sure Mr C said 'Brand Vinyl Silk' and not 'Brandy'.....still there is no accounting for taste....beats meths I suppose, which I expect Home Base also sells.

	Ah... I would lend you mine if I had one Mr Connor, but unfortunately I haven't reached the required age yet. Don't tell me you have lost yours.

	If Kitty wants to sub-contract the toe nail painting job then I can give a very competitive quote. And if one of you lovely ladies, who nostalgically collect old recipe books, could loan me your B&Q senior citizens discount card then I can keep the cost down with a tin of their own brand vinyl silk.

	Oh Ann, I am disappointed now Just found this If Mrs Beeton had been alive today she would be in trouble for plagiarism on a shocking scale, the Guardian Hay festival heard yesterday. The image of the original domestic goddess and author of the definitive book on cookery and household management has been tainted. The real Mrs Beeton was in fact a strip of a girl who could not cook. The historian Kathryn Hughes has written the definitive biography of a woman born in 1836 who became a template for hardworking housewives. Hughes became so obsessed with her that she mortgaged her flat so she could buy Mrs Beeton's collection of letters. and the story continues..... http://books.guardian.co.uk/hay2006/story/0,,1788623,00.html Susan x ( sorry Hayley for pinchin yer thread but me flabber is Ghasted over this shockin revelation )

	I am sure I read somewere that Mrs Beeton could not actually cook, It was a con she got these recipes from other sources. Anyone else know anything about the story? Ann Glos
