Coarsely mashed? They're in a class of foods that don't like me, so I've never tried them.

They're apparently marrowfat peas, and with a rather high sodium content. What else is required for them to be classified as "mushy peas?"

I recently viewed "The Funny Side of Christmas" for the umpteenth time. Clegg is describing the dinner menu, which includes bread and a nice bit of cheese. Compo objected vociferously to bread and cheese for Christmas dinner, and Clegg replied, "It's Wensleydale" in a coaxing tone of voice. It...

I was shocked at how many I got wrong!

"The rarest model was a Dinky 139 Ford Consul Cortina, South African Issue, ..." Brings back memories of a fellow I dated briefly in the mid-1960s. He drove a Ford Consul Cortina North American issue. I hope he was able to store it safely when he was drafted into the infantry to fight in...

Especially like the price! Just glimpsed it at the end.

Roast duck has been on offer only in England, so don't count on me to prep the meal!

Backyard wild birds are too small to make a meal on, but I do enjoy sharing a properly roasted duck for a company dinner. Much tastier than chicken or turkey.

Good grief, she looks even more terrifying in the first photo than in the second!

With any luck, the LOTSW hive mind will recall the title for you.

I've used a similar change purse for years!

I watch to escape from the current American reality. The scenery is restful and the dialogs make me laugh.

Early '70s colors! Badly dated!

Must be all of that exercise from the dancing he did throughout his career.

My whole-house water heater is a modern version of the earlier gas ones shown here. It's a demand water heater, venting to the outdoors, but adding to the pollution load only while I'm running hot water. Costs about $25 and some change a month to run. The ~$25 is the fee for having a gas meter...

He could respond with the quote from Mark Twain - “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

Dark.

There's another one south of Skipton. It's a B&B @ https://www.throstlenestfarmbandb.co.uk/. That's probably a popular name, given that it's the old fashioned name for the song thrush. I always wondered how Reggie ever made time to take Thursday off each week to spend it entertaining Compo. And...

Depends on the region. Here in upstate New York, where bird flu is less prevalent, store brand grade AA large eggs are $6.69/dozen. They're usually sold by the dozen or 1 1/2 dozen. Seldom see 1/2 dozen for sale. My niece breeds and raises a couple of varieties of bantams. She's being very...
