I did try a vegan cheese substitute once, a powder that contained ground nuts, herbs, and dried yeast and it was really quite good in terms of flavour but obviously not texture. But then if you are vegetarian or vegan your meals are generally not the same as meat eaters as we eat allot of beans and ...

my sister, covid ICU, I should add that she is in her 60s so this is a great relief for all of us

I bought mine from Stuart Wilson in Stirling (the old shop) around 1985, blue and I loved it, best bike ever. Stolen in at the university in Cardiff in 1988. I was heart broken, still am, best fitting and riding bike I ever had.

A friend went off to travel Europe, not a cyclist, and only speaks English. When I asked him about his time he said that it was quite inconvenient as he always had to rely on someone speaking English and not everyone does, then they chat to each other and you are isolated. He's now settled in one co...

Lots of free resources are available to practice and supplement classes, but classes are best

I think the answer is, the one that you enjoy learning. I learned french, welsh, and german at school, and I did badly, then I lived in Germany for a while and spoke very bad german (many of my friends spoke very little english, or none).

TOH is a teacher, up to a month ago he was working on a antiquated laptop that should have been junked several years ago, he sent out work during lock down and would get it back in various formats he struggled to open, he wasn't allowed to hold classes on Teams or Zoom, and when he finally was it wa...

We've all had the flu jab in our house (real arm ache one this year) as my husband is a teacher, we get them most years; one year it was completely ineffective but generally it varies. Last year I didn't have the flu jab and picked up a SARs type infection at the end of November that was going aroun...

Normally it is sporadic, during lockdown it was if they had enough to deliver they might come down our street (so much worse than usual), now it's back to the usual sporadic, going back into lockdown, so probably very few deliveries.

There is a California near Falkirk out near Slamanan

I'm looking for a hardtail bike, with 27.5" wheels, I want to do some bikejor with it and I might do some off-road but nothing serious downhill. So I don't want to pay a massive amount for it, but obviously I'm a bit flexible and will pay more if I need to (but want so stay under £850). I've lo...

I've got an Osprey talon, great rucksack

The manufacturers go where the money is. If pink sells well to ladies, they’ll continue to produce it Er’mm I’m really not so sure about that. M&S and Laura Ashley used to be Mrs Green’s favourite shops but somehow the buyers in those Companies lost touch with the actual preferences and tastes ...

Glad it's not just me that thinks this. Most things about cars have specifications but indicators seem to be allowed to be a fashion accessory, and some of them are really difficult to spot. Definitely they are design over function now.

Our local Lidl has a box for donations for the local food bank, Aldi don't
