tim Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 After a great day at Gelderston Locks, we managed to moor outside the Waveney House Hotel which is great because it was touch and go if we could get under the bridge and it saved the yacht station mooring fee however.............. £9.40 for a glass of wine and a pint of beer! Cant remember last time I used the words ‘are you sure’ as I’m normally quite relaxed about prices as I’ve worked in London most of my working life! the food menu doesn’t nave prices Mandy’s just gone to order the food, I’m bracing myself! Still nice setting and great weather at least the pup has been fed ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 £9.40 I could feed a family of four for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Blimey seems I did ok it wasn't even a big glass! Out of interest, whilst in Gelderston Pims lemonade and a pint of ale was £6.20 whilst the same round at the Wherry was £8.40! And I bought both! My wife doesn't soil her hands with such matters! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes a special kind of talent to make a meal stretch, I learnt this from my old Mum. Mind you that was before birth of all of these flakey people who today have to have a special meal cooked for them every day. In my day it was eat up or go without.

grendel Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 in my day you ate it - or you ate it cold at the next meal, saturday we would have a roast (pork or occasionally beef) sunday would be cold beef or pork, monday would be rissoles with any leftover meat, tuesday the bones were boiled up for stock to make soup for tuesday and wendesday, I cant remember what we had thursdays or fridays, probably luncheon meat with bread and dripping from the meat, then saturday was back to roast, my mum certainly knew how to make a joint of meat stretch through the week.

And all the family would mostly eat together too whenever possible. We still have cold meat with bubble ‘n squeak but I have heard of one family who chuck out the remains of a roast joint because they have never learnt what can be done with leftovers. Sacrilege!

Guest Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I bet you could go out and leave the front door wide open and come home knowing no one would have been stealing anything back then too And you could walk out of one job and straight into another And kids had respect And people knew the value of money And the grass was green And the sky was blue....
