I feel that it's time to come out of the closet about this, but perhaps it might be more accurate to say "come out of the cupboard".
For years I have suffered from an affliction that whilst it is in no way life threatening, can cause distress, confusion and create more washing up.
I refer to "Philpott Syndrome". I feel that there may be many sufferers among us, but we go (as yet) unrecognised and undiagnosed.
The principal symptom is the complete inability to identify the amount of a substance be it liquid or solid, and recognise the size of the container into which it will fit.
How many times have you considered a quantity of cooked mince and onions, destined to become a shepherds pie, and dithered over the selection of a suitably sized pyrex dish to accomodate it, plus the correct proportion of mash?
Have you, too, poured soup or sauce into a tub, ready to go into the freezer, only to find it either overflows the container, or that you have a left over amount that is of of no practical use?
Or even, perhaps, looked at that last bit of wine in the bottle and wrongly thought that it would fit in your glass, only to find yourself reaching for the kitchen roll?
If you can answer "yes" to any of the above, chances are that you too are a sufferer.
Unfortunately there is currently no help available, but by standing together,shoulder to shoulder (allowing of course for the possible lack of judgement over shoulder distance) we can raise awareness of this condition.
Thank you for reading.
