Title: Bakewell Pudding
Post by: on July 31, 2005, 09:26:08 pm
Has anyone else tried the real thing?  Went to Bakewell on the way back from Buxton yesterday.  It's all sloppy and jammy.  Lovely almond taste and nothing at all like a Bakewell tart.  Had it steaming hot with custard.  Pudding was nice too.

Never been nor tried it - but i was passing Quality Street the other day so called in to try the sweets first hand. Much better than the boxed versions....

It's a grammatical rule.  You can say, 'I have seen neither Arsenal nor Chelsea this year'.  You can't say, 'I have not seen Arsenal nor Chelsea this year'.


In the second sentence nor must be replaced by or.

That's a nice long holiday Oldspice - but it sounded as though you definitely needed it a little while ago.  I am sulking as I've had to cut mine short but I do have ten days off from this coming weekend.

Well, we have to book our annual leave so it fits in with student holidays. Most people think we get the same holidays as school teachers but we don't. We get 37 days a year plus Bank Holidays which is generous I know but I do have to fit some research and lecture preparation into that time. Now I lecture other teachers as well as teaching younger students I have a lot more research to do.


Most of us take the biggest chunk of our annual leave in the summer because the last few weeks of the summer term are so tiring but it means we get less time at Christmas and Easter.

I think anyone in that line of work deserves their long holidays.  Are you going away?
