Economy Gastronomy!
I’ve recommended the TV show to a few people now – so I thought I’d drop a blog post about it up here!
There have only been two episodes so far (Wednesday BBC2), but we’ve really enjoyed them and I’ve just found out they do a book…
Two top chefs Allegra McEvedy and Paul Merret have devised the Economy Gastronomy system to aid people in slashing their food bills (never a bad thing in a recession!), whilst eating better than they ever have before!
This covers people who don’t know how to cook, to those that do and don’t have time! Well worth a watch and I suspect the book is just as good.
See the iPlayer here for Episode 1

Paddington is Under Investigation!
In a new book to commemorate Paddington Bear’s 50th birthday (he doesn’t look a day over 21 in my opinion!) entitled “Paddington Here and Now”, Paddington will be questioned by the UK Immigration authorities!
Michael Bond, 83, the author of the Paddington books says:
“Although the world has changed considerably over the past 30 years, he remains exactly the same – eternally optimistic and ever open to what life has to offer.
As Paddington was hidden in a lifeboat aboard a ship in Peru by Aunt Lucy when she went to live in the Home for Retired Bears in Lima he is officially a stowaway, and should rightfully be questioned about his immigration status!
I look forward to reading this!

“I fought the Lloyds”
I didn’t actually, but it appears Oystar might have done. They’ve written a classic protest song about claiming money back from banks. A cause championed by Martin Lewis at MoneySavingExpert.com, which lead him to feature in the video for “I fought the Lloyds”, even if you aren’t reclaiming your charges it’s a laugh!
You can help get this to Number 1 for just 50p by visiting the Bank Charges Song information page!
