     I don't like prunes   
I use to have to hide the prunes we were given at school in my pocket.

         plum is plum,   prunes are prunes .
           it's not called prune bread

[GeoffE]

Milk in that one too!

I'm sure my Auntie Dora used cold tea.

EDIT:  My reply was after seeing Eilleen's reply - I hadn't seen Ricky's recipe at that time.  I thought I was right about the tea!
