Whilst I enjoyed Vanessa Barford's article on student digs, I'd be grateful if you could point out that things do not reoccur. They occur or recur.

When I saw this headline "Blue-screen effects pioneer dies", I immediately assumed he must be from Microsoft...

But I like mine rare.

Regardless of gender, surely PM is not American and observing a Bank Holiday yesterday?

On reading "The rise of the ready meal" and how they are still popular even if there is enough time to cook, brings me to this point. I grow fresh organic fruit and vegetables and sell them at local farmers markets in the USA. I found out when I first started that a lot of people did not know what I was selling or if they did know, did not know how to use it or knew only one recipe for it. When talking to my customers about people not knowing how to use things, they have come to the general conclusion that the USA has lost a generation and a half of cooks. This might show that even though there is enough time for people to cook they still prefer ready meals might be they can not cook.

Baked bean tins.. trains.. cars.. but how many london buses?

Kate in Bromley, I'm a fellow Kate-to-make-life-easier, named Catriona which everyone mispronounces (Cat-Tree-Yanna for those of you interested). My parents settled on shortening to Katy which is easier to pronounce, and which everyone misspells (Y, it's after Katy Carr in the book, not an ie) and I have finally settled on Kate. So, Benedict Milne, be pleased your name has only one spelling and is fairly easy to pronounce, we Kate's of the world have a lot to deal with.
Kate, Bath

I think Tesco Value Burgers have become part of my stable diet.
