Darn it. I fell asleep in the Chase and I have to catch that up and woke of 6.28 and had to watch on demand. I really find these kind of B&Bs strange..I have no idea why. There is no reason why you should not build your house and make it earn a living for you.
It all seems a little limp this week and I get the feeling most establishments will be fine.
Remarkable 17 year old and I would expect the highest of standards in the German lady's place.
Now where those sheets Egyptian cotton or not?
And I will say that if an establishment owner has to choose their pillows and duvet, surely they are safer with hypo-allergenic even if many of us love the old feathers .

I think the places I'm most looking forward to are Sea la Vie, which I presume is a play on words for C'est la vie :confused
and tomorrow night - but for quite different reasons.
It's another quandary about the sheets and the quality of the mattress. Whenever anyone says the mattress didn't suit, the reply is always that it was expensive...which may or may not be - how long's a piece of string. Besides, the £ paid doesn't guarantee comfort for anyone necessarily.
I think for a small B&B synthetic is probably cheaper and safer, but I myself prefer all natural fibres. The duvet covers did look very synthetic to me and very skimpy, but then I always put a size larger duvet on our beds.
Some Scottish accents grate on me and I find them annoying, but have to say that I am a Scot but come from the North, which has a certain lilt and is more pleasant to listen to.

Say something sweet and I will do you a feed-back form.;)
OH loves them, in the good old days we (my old family) had chocolate dainties............my mum was from Durham, not sure if it originated from there.............they were oblong things like Tunnocks but stickier inside and the outside chocolate had dessicated coconut stuck to it.
They obviously made very little impression on me.:o

BIB Snowballs - yummeeee. Last saw them in Morrisons I think it was, but they looked half the size that I remember them.
Going off the thread subject here! Looking forward to some real square sausage tomorrow.
I took a bottle (or two ) with me away this weekend, just to have a few glasses of wine after I got in from an exhausting day shopping and while I was getting ready for dinner.
Its part of the whole "weekend away" thing really isnt it....
Absolutely. And a crafty cigarette too. That's a weekend away thing. But don't tell OH!
The dog eater was showing off. She's alienated pet lovers everywhere and she's not getting her teeth into my dog!
Reminds me of a quote from a great film call Hombre.
Audra Favor: I can't imagine eating a dog and not thinking anything of it.
John Russell: You even been hungry, lady? Not just ready for supper. Hungry enough so that your belly swells?
Audra Favor: I wouldn't care how hungry I got. I know I wouldn't eat one of those camp dogs.
John Russell: You'd eat it. You'd fight for the bones, too.
Audra Favor: Have you ever eaten a dog, Mr. Russell?
John Russell: Eaten one and lived like one.
Audra Favor: Dear me.
I don't understand how some of those B&B's can keep going because of where they are situated.
£90 a night seems an awful lot to me when a hotel, even a chain, can cheaper and provide parking, a bar and a restaurant.
The people on this show all seem obsessed with finding dust so that they can mark each other down. It is actually quite unpleasant to watch at times.
Just catching up on the last couple of weeks shows.
Re last week, the Yorkshire couple from Grassington, she makes a comment on a North/South divide, '...Southerners are not nasty, just not as friendly' Well thanks very much Mrs Oracle. Ok that's her opinion, but based on what? She doesn't say.
Isn't Grassington where a program called,'Love Thy Neighbour,' was filmed? A competition where a family from elsewhere in the UK, picked by the residents of Grassington could win a three bedroom house?
It caused a bit of a stir for being controversial in the sense that anybody not white, middle class and Tory were unpopular and a single mother, entered in the competition,who was a nude artists model had catfights with the barmaids of the local, when they called her a prostitute and they sabotaged her community activity?
I wonder if said Grassington landlady is aware of that program and the way it came across. Grassington certainly was portrayed as particularly unfriendly to outsiders, which it probably isn't irl.

It isn't even as if they talk dirty.
Nope - still trying to get to the end of this thread and Corrie's on now, so may not get around to it.
I have the answer. Give my best to Ena Sharples.
L8tuz.

You obviously don't speak penguine! :eek:
They missed a trick not serving square sausage, it's lovely!
Yeah you'd expect that at a Scottish B&B, or at least a choice of square or links.
Some Scottish accents grate on me and I find them annoying, but have to say that I am a Scot but come from the North, which has a certain lilt and is more pleasant to listen to.

Maybe the German lady will serve the lovely square sausage .... or will it be bratwurst or some such thing?!
Bought some square sausage from Iceland (shop) and it was not very nice. Maybe it's time for a holiday in Scotland (been away for a lot of years!
Any good online butchers from Inverness area around?

Expensive but the best square sausage I have ever had.
Tunnocks tea-cakes.

Yes quite, I try to never do that for fear of being shot.
The Scottish/ German lady looks like she could be interesting. She could have a few intriguing ways of cooking a haggis with sauerkraut.

Bizzarre breakfast conversation - I knew where she was going so luckily managed to cover Brooke's ears before she mentioned cats:eek:
She did have a point - but not when people are trying eat...
It's a good job she wasn't on the same week as Eileen the cat woman! :eek::D

I bet she draws the line at garlic or seaweed. Wimp!

I hear she likes her cat and dog served with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
