The Krays? They were smashing blokes. Every Sunday morning one of them would come round and nail my Dad's head to the floor. One Sunday he wasn't feeling too good so they let him off. I mean, how bad's that? Smashing blokes. Won't hear a word said against them.

What's wrong with Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puddings? They may not be to everybody's taste but they are hardly criminal :-)

Vote 2 for Mother Teresa.

I find Bessie's roasters taste of fish.

Hmmm, just me then.

Aunt Bessie's frozen mash is okay. Yorkies and roast potatoes are naff.
