I'm moaning about somebody bringing politics in here, I wanted clarity. Don't you agree?

I've been taking turmeric capsules for just over a year now. I'm in my mid 60's & have a few aches & pains but nothing that stops me from working out at the gym & exercising. I take it because it comes with a lot of positive recommendations from the science & medical profession so it's another supplement I take along with cod liver oil tablets & vitamin D.

There is, apparently, a low incidence of bowel cancer and the likes in India and other countries with similar diets. Turmeric has often been suggested as the beneficial ingredient. Would be interested if anyone has any up to date details ...

However, it must have been later than 1970 as we didn't go decimal until Feb 15th 1971

And when todays politicians and kids use the word ‘austerity’...they don’t know the bleeding meaning of the word….

And not many could spell it either - kids or politicians

I'll have the same as everyone else who used to go there, a prawn cocktail followed by a steak ?

Had to think there but I do believe it's the choke control.
Somebody tried to steal my Morris 1100 in the middle of winter and because they didn't realise it was a locking choke which required turning to the right after pulling it out they had a massive fail.

No, but I've got some good curry recipes.

That was something for women to pull out and hang their handbags on then complain the car would not go very fast

Well spotted. Bernis at New Brighton was the nearest to me but to woo the future Mrs T, it was either the New Hall or where the Crown Courts are. Prawn cocktails, rump steak, and of course Black Forest gateau washed down with Mateus Rose. Change out of a tenner 1973.
