Think I will splash out on the proper stuff.
Good comments, thank you

Cola is also supposed to clean coins!
Not that I ever have any cola

Our solitary silver spoon has merely a blank shield shape on it, Bushinn1746. There is a spoon with it, but equally blank. Not posh, really, at all, probably one of my grandma's impulse purchases pre-war.
Ah well,  our cats aren't landed cattry at all. Just pampered and well-fed.

Brown sauce contains vinegar - acetic acid.
Cola contains phosphoric acid.
They will both dissolve the tarnish.

Hello All

Good to see you back KG, how did the Op go, or is it too soon yet to say?

TY, I was just in cheeky banter mood. Never thought of the phrase Landed Cattery, though 

Something happened during Friday am early hours as though I had a virus in the sinuses and very very dry throat, started in the night. I've been hitting it since, with a range of Green teas, water and milky and water coffees and Hot Milk Cacao. It then moved on to the G.I. system.

I've had cooked salmon, poratoes and all my veggies this dinnertime.

Feeling very groggy and very tired (you can rule out intoxication) my Red Wine rack is empty 

LM, I hope that brass does not end up like the Painting, in Mr Bean's film Whistler's Mother    , where Mr Bean tries to clean the face, rather than try a tiny test bit in the corner of the painting first 

I hope all those not feeling well, get well soon!

Just watched Freddie Flintoff’s programme “ Field of Dreams “.
It has been really enjoyable all the weeks it has been on.
The transformation of youngsters with little ambition or positive motivation and few if any opportunities has been amazing .
One girl in particular was amazing at the junior school the girls’ team
visited ,she had instant rapport and seriously ought to do a course to enable her to work with children,she was really good.
One lad on the Manchester team was really kind and supportive to his team and the girls team in their match. He had personal challenges but was unfailingly cheerful and enthusiastic .
It has been a really good programme ,and well done Freddie and his team,who knows where this will lead ,hopefully more teenage cricket , a stone has been dropped in a pool and let’s hope the ripples will spread.

Hello Viktoria

Nice to hear of a positive sounding program.

I have not had TV on for several weeks, likely 2 or more months.

Seen a few Allen Millyard youtube series building his one-off motorcycles.

I've fallen asleep and then it is shower or supper time and up the wooden hill for shut-eye 

Take care, Mark

Best wishes K.G.Hope all goes well .
Alan Millyard is I believe an amazing  mechanic ,and I think Henry Cole’s previous one was too .
Henry does often choose easy options in the programme whereas Simon in Liverpool does amazing things with junk.
I like those programmes and those on BBC 1 too.
“Find it,fix it ,flog it” and “ Money for nothing” .
I am often shocked by what people throw away!
