Every day here is different.

Eddie Mair | 15:51 UK time, Thursday, 26 April 2007

I've just recorded an interview with someone, and asked, for the first time in my life...THIS question:

"Anchovy paste?"

    Eddie,

    When I want to send a present that is quintessentially English to friends abroad, I opt for Gentlemen's Relish. Tasty, easy to ship, doesn't go off (or has it already?).

    Eddie,

    Winter. Cosy on my armchair. Sitting by the fire. I take the toast from the toasting fork, spread it with butter and a scraping of Gentlemen's Relish. The taste! Salty and rich; fishy and caramelised.

    The smacking of the lips!

    The sheer Englishness of it all! As Vintage Krug is to a bottle of Tizer, so Gentlemen's Relish is to a jar of Marmite.

    When o when are we going to see your name in Mandarin?
    You did say you'd show us sometime, didn't you?

    HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU ?

    Vote proposed by Big Sister:

    Now, Jonnie, on this vote I've proposed, I'm dismayed to find that, already, 75% are voting 'No'. I suspect that some of Eddie's team mates are muscling in on our refuge ...... Or other troublemakers elsewhere, perhaps?

    I've been cheated! I was looking forward to hearing the important issues of the day concerning anchovy paste, and all it get is nonsense about anchovy essence.

    I feel betrayed...

    oops - it WAS essence. Sorry!

    I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to a salty question.

    OK, I'm off to the naughty step.

    Ooh yes Jonnie and Big Sis -- fantastic idea! I've just voted and it's now about 75% saying 'yes' it seems. He'd be fabulous. I would love to hear him and Paul Merton sparking off each other. Yes please!

    Just voted "Yes". But if Eddie does it, I'll need advance notice or I'll miss it.
