The freezer was invented so that we could eat broad beans with our
gammon in winter, IMHO :-)

Yes, but they're British broad beans. ;-)

I know. And British Aunt Bessie's chips :-)

No way. Chips don't come into this house! If they're eaten, it's at a
restaurant. The oven baked ones are pale imitations to me, so if I'm going
to indulge in chips I'd rather have the full, fatty, greasy, disgustingly
delicious experience.

I don't actually own one, apart from the little bit in the top of the
fridge. It will hold ice cubes plus a bag of either broad beans or
Aunt Bessie's Oven Chips.


Freezers bring out my siege mentality. We have two and both are
always bursting at the seams!

As they should be. Most efficient way to run them, full up. If they're not,
you should stuff them with newspapers rather than try to freeze a pile of
air. Apparently.


"I'm just going to freeze the newspapers, darling". I can see the family's
face now.
