This is big for us here at Manse Procopius, since, first of all, it means we don't face impending financial annihilation in the form of childcare costs that hitherto exceeded our ability to save for them, and secondly it means we might even be able to save for other things, like home renovations, or a new car, or possibly a new wife if Mrs P can't show a little more goddamn enthusiasm for the biggest news of the year so far. But I digress. Big day. My job will change a lot, and I'll be dealing with a lot more responsibility going forward. Scary days. Congrats Edward... well deserved....as for the wife and your great news....well to be honest my wife had no idea what I did until she came to my retirement lunch last September and even then it was a glancing interest. As long as I was bringing in the dough she didn't care..rather disheartening really but I take solace in knowing I did the mission assigned to me with honor and made it through. The Lanc in looking awesome BTW. All the Best! Don 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) https://parkersbritishinstitution.com Enjoy, young PC. Proper food, available in the US! I used them myself many times when I needed a fix of "old country" food! The pies, sausages, and pasties are exquisite! (I won't mention the proper bacon. Oh wait, I just did....)

Ian A reliable source of black pudding!?! This is truly a great day. Speaking of great days, I got some more done on the Lanc. Some interior colour sprayed, wings closed up, puttering along. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Congratulations on the promotion, Edward. I'm sure Mrs.P will come around after the full effect sinks in. Last week, while visiting family in the home province, Nova Scotia, my older brother showed me the bottle of Pusser that someone had given our Dad. I'm not sure how long ago he got it. It's been just over 14 years since his passing and he had it for quite a few years before that. It's still unopened. Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 3 hours ago, limeypilot said: Branston pickle Sadly nigh on impossible to find here, and one of those things which is almost essential for anything involving bread and a really sharp cheddar. Actually any decent chutney is difficult to rustle up here. I rely on "red cross" packages from family and friends but am open to kindhearted donations from empathetic fellow Britmodellers. Also in need of Hobnobs, Vegemite, Gentleman's Relish and decent proper marmelade. You can probably even write it off for tax purposes as a donation to a worthy charity Really enjoying watching this Procopius as I have this very kit on the (albeit rather lengthy) to do list. Great stuff! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMP man Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Good tidings of great joy re the employment status, learn to delegate, as you can bet you bottom donald that something 'important' will turn up at Telford Time! Just re-read the Hunter Chronicles, a fine read! Lanc looking good and if your going to go native you have to try Marmite, pink blancmange and Gregs ice slices. 225 sleeps to go Box on Strickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There I said it! Vegemite is far superior, closely followed by New Zealand Marmite (not to be confused with its British namesake). Either of those on hot buttered toast are a far superior spread.
