Hi Barbara For my part I am always interested in seeing some posts, rather than long periods of silence If any post is not of interest on the over 80 lists I subscribe to, I simply delete them and if I can help in any way I try and do so I find it ironic that the ones who try (and mostly succeed) to halt threads tend to be the ones who generally do not post and add nothing to a list I would unsubscribe but why should I let them win Lord knows what they would have done a few years ago when posts to this list were much higher July 2000 673 July 2001 905 July 2002 923 July 2003 617 July 2004 406 July 2005 607 So far in July 2015 there have been 113 to date Roll on the good old days ;-) As is often the case in these situations, we are in danger of having more posts *about* the thread than there were *in* the thread Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 24/07/2015 09:34, Bee wrote: > Now come on Nivard, were you that interested in all the puds or was it simply the volume of emails this thread created? > > You are a valued contributor to this and several other lists, your help and advise is always so useful and clear. > > I tried to start another thread re unknowingly following in ancestors footsteps regarding work and hobbies but this didn't take off. > > Easier to go with the flow Nivard. > > Barbara

Two points of view here. Yes, it's gone completely off topic (and also off county) but you don't have to read the posts. At least this is one Rootsweb list which is still active. Many of the others I subscribe to have basically died. Thanks in no part, to over-zealous list owners who seemed to take great delight in rejecting anything they could.. "Moderating" they called it, so they got their wish, now extinct. Hadn't posted on here for a while but if anyone has Wadsley/Toynbee/Bettinson/Wrout/Starkey connections, please get in touch!

Now come on Nivard, were you that interested in all the puds or was it simply the volume of emails this thread created? You are a valued contributor to this and several other lists, your help and advise is always so useful and clear. I tried to start another thread re unknowingly following in ancestors footsteps regarding work and hobbies but this didn't take off. Easier to go with the flow Nivard.

Everyone wants - and no doubt gets - different things from these lists. Personally, I am still happy to get away from food for a bit and, hopefully, help someone out with their research because research and the validation of that research is my primary reason/interest in being on the list. Anyone wishing to discuss food, ancient or modern, is fine by me but as I have no great interest, I use the delete key - problem solved!

While I am one of those who have got a little off topic with my food post rather than actual genealogy.  Sorry to those who objected. However could I ask that people crop their replies so we don't get multiple copies of the same posts.  That was why my "Lardy Cake" response started a new topic so I didn't have a very long set of repeated emails. Also don't forget to put names in capitals.  Mike Kawerau 3127 NZ [email protected]

If you can't get curd try using cottage cheese. It comes out just as good. Bob.

One mans meat is another mans poison Seems apt ;-) Once upon a time I would awake to 400+ emails from the various lists I am on, now you are lucky to get any, bar the odd theme that sparks interest in subscribers as this one has The more the merrier as far as I am concerned, I am on lists to converse, research, learn and enjoy others input Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23/07/2015 17:46, Ward Family Tree via wrote: > > Happy to get away from food for a bit - delete key is getting > overworked.

Happy to get away from food for a bit - delete key is getting overworked. You are quite right - the baptism shows up in the Middle Rasen register. Joseph son of Thos. and Alice Dopson (sic) baptised 16 Feb 1783. Hope that helps.

We would have two goslings to rear in the spring. One goose was killed for Christmas Day the other for New Year. I remember a side (flitch) of bacon hanging in the attic. My father was a Vet and so often he would be paid 'in kind'. ie a boiling fowl or capon, eggs, rabbits etc. Fish wasn't rationed so kippers were eaten often. I remember having chitterlings ! Horrible. Tripe even more horrible! All veg was grown and preserved by salting or in Kilner jars. Likewise fruit bottled or made into jam. My grandmother living in London, was making plum jam during the Battle of Britain and refused to go to the shelter until it had reached setting point! We were healthy and I can never remember being hungry, lucky to have been living in a small market town in the south. My husband, on the other hand, being brought up in the City of Nottingham has told of great deprivation and shortage of meat. Sometimes a tin of corn-beef for a family of 4. Sent from my iPad

Now I know why we always used the back door at Mum's house. She was a yellow belly as was her father who lived with us. I started using the front door as I grew up and my friends all did in Leicester, but our neighbours all used the back door for most outings, eg. local shops, etc. Jan Marchant, now in Australia > Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2015 11:37:30 +0200 > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LIN] Admin. note: What's cooking > From: [email protected] > > Most Yorkshire folk ate the Yorkshire puds with gravy as a starter, then after that the main dinner of roast beef and veg. > We had a Yorkshire pudding tray similar to a modern muffin one but I think deeper and heavier.
