But Peter... and welcome back by the way, were you really away for three whole months?
... I'm agreeing with you! I repeat, I agree with you that I have posted a tad too frequently
to the Board of late. I do tend to let my enthusiasms on such topics as soft-boiled eggs
or buttered eggs, in fact food and drink generally, run away with me, and it's good that you've
come back to strengthen the teaching team at St TarBoard's and reintroduce some discipline
to the old place.

Where we disagree, is the relevance of topics such as, 'Whether Britain in the 50's was still
recognisably similar to Britain of the 30's, but at the end of the 60's was not?' or 'What meals
were consumed at Beckfoot and what they were called?' Here as you say, the war is over,
we agree to disagree.

Finally, there is the habit of some of us of sharing part of our private lives and enthusiasms
with other TarBoarders. I guess the number of follow up messages is some guide to the popularity
of any thread. When I nervously let fly 'The Pork Pie's East European Cousin', I had no idea that
it would generate 49 follow up messages including the whole of the 'buttered egg' saga! Now,
trying to recreate the meals of the S's, A's and D's, forensic archaeology I think this sort of thing
is called, is surely relevant to AR.
