Once again those who don't like the way the comments are going change the direction to Simnel cake. Could you please go over to Chat instead of high jacking this subject.

Lucca Sun 17-Apr-22 09:14:15

Will there be an election ? For thread/head prefect of GN ?

Anniebach Sun 17-Apr-22 09:17:32

It was expected Aspen

To be honest though there had been so many deleted comments and everything had been said so it wasn’t big deal to go off at a lighthearted tangent.

Anniebach. It was expected Aspen

Let the children play……grin

Oh dear

cn you remember marzipan fruits? my Mum used to make them, yet you never see them anymore

JaneJudge Sun 17-Apr-22 10:05:22

for what it is worth, I don't let people dictate to me in real life so I am not about to be told what to do on threads here.

I have no idea how much can be said about someone visiting their grandmother. All my children are visiting theirs today. I wouldn't expect anyone to have an opinion and yes my Mother does think she is the Queen

I certainly do remember them, In fact I have a box here. Not homemade but Fortnum and Mason.

Marks and Spencers also do them at Christmas

How clever of your Mum to make them! I have not had the luxury of home made marzipan for many years. My Grandma used to make a Christmas Log. Yum.

Fabulous simnel cake, maddyone!

whoah they look magnificent smile

Anniebach Sun 17-Apr-22 10:22:42

I disagree JaneJudge no one is dictating , just stating that the baking of a cake has nothing to do with the O/P . Why not a thread on baking cakes ?

Is it acceptable for me to post I have baked a Bara Brith on a politics thread ? No it isn’t.

Galaxy Sun 17-Apr-22 10:26:36

Of course it is annie you can post anything you like as long as it doesnt break guidelines.

Anniebach Sun 17-Apr-22 10:42:39

It’s a snub for whoever starts a thread

Galaxy Sun 17-Apr-22 10:45:23

It went absolutely crazy so people talked about the deletions and then talked about something else. When you have that number of deletions its perfectly reasonable to well laugh.

Oh Annie I love Barra Brith

I love Victoria sponge, (although I'm a republican.)

tickingbird Sun 17-Apr-22 11:09:35

It WAS an H & M thread so it has been derailed and that was the objective. People don’t like being dictated to but happy to dictate to others - by stealth.

JaneJudge Sun 17-Apr-22 11:10:01

I wouldn't mind if you posted a photo of a Bara Brith smile

What else would you like to say about M&H Aspen?

Please carry on. Don't let yourself be ambushed by cake.

Boz Sun 17-Apr-22 11:14:13

There is a picture on H&M kissing and looking very happy together at the Invictus Games so perhaps they made the right decision.

nadateturbe Sun 17-Apr-22 11:16:06

I'm happy they've been to see Harry's gran, as I would be for anyone in similar situation.

maddyone Sun 17-Apr-22 11:18:29

The problem was the huge number of deleted posts on this thread. I’ll probably get deleted for saying it, but that was the problem. So the thread went lighthearted.
Happy Easter everyone.

maddyone Sun 17-Apr-22 11:20:42

I love Bara Bruth as well by the way (and occasionally make it though I’m not Welsh. My grandmother was though.)

Thank you zoe.
