The wearing of face masks whilst working

Sorry Nick, no recipe - and I don’t recall anyone named Alistair Bullman, nor is there anyone of that name in my comprehensive list of N.R.P personnel. I think he must have been B.S.A.Police I.e. Southern Rhodesia.

I think we can say that the forum has officially been hit by lockdown fever when we start swapping recipes.
Now does anyone have a knitting pattern for a nice little rollneck pullover Smile

Would that be for a man or a woman, Andy?

I may make 2, so why not both.
This forum isn't the only one with an archive:

I think I may need to go do something 'manly' now, so off to do some concreting.

Should that not read ‘crocheting’?

Squeak, you're a genius... 40 years on and you have made my family very happy... finally got round to trying it out... the second recipe it was.

Andy, did you finish your 1930s knitting project in time for the centenary picnic?

If you can find some, it was called 'makwala'...

I was out in Zambia briefly in the late sixties before going south into what was still ( optimistically) called Southern Rhodesia. Drove down in an old VW across the Zambesi valley where I had to squeeze past a 70 foot blue whale. Ok so you’re wondering what I’m on! The ‘’whale’’ was a genuine whale skin stretched over a frame, it looked very realistic and amazingly out of place - it was touring Southern Africa as a showpiece.
You will remember Bob that Salisbury was known in NR as Bamba-Zonki, ‘’takes all’’ as the copper income from NR was spent in Salisbury (Harare today)
Now about that pudding ………………..
