Shrimps for breakfast sounds nice Richard,but what exactly are grits? Glad to see the old Odeon has gone up in the world I think it was B &Q in the late 70s.I used to go to saturday morning pictures there and in the late 50s The Star ran a competition for each Odeon to have a childrens choir, which I joined and guess what Surbiton won!,We went for a meal in London,It might have been at the Dorchester,we were each presented with a certificate by J Arthur Rank and later that day appeared on the Wilfred Pickles Television Show!We used to rehearse in the Frank and Peggy Spencer Dance Studio in Victoria Road.

Ah the full English! That is atreat I defer to my visits to the U.K.But there is a real food culture in the Southern U.S.Shrimp and grits for breakfast is very hard to beat,especially shrimp you have caught yourself with a cast net the same morning.My wife ,however is adicted to Dave Ashwell’s famous “Green Drink”.Surbiton Odeon is indeed aWaitrose now,and thereare actually 3 or 4 decent restaurants in Surbiton.Constantly amazed by the variety and quality of food available now compared to those 1950’s vegetables.

Well done Dave! I hope you derive as much, if not more benefit from the system as I have. I agree with Ros regarding really tasting natural sugars again. White sugar burns out your taste buds – equivalent to putting the old 5 star in a lawn mower! Stick with it bud.

Due to having frequent migraine’s from the age of 12,and the constant quest for a few pain free days I haven’t eaten chocolate apart from the odd white Belgian one, since i was a teenager,and over the years i have given up so many things that caused problems,but I have recently given up all sweeteners and sugar,and now I find that if I do taste anything sweet it is so sickly, perhaps this might work for you? You can really taste the natural sugars in things as well, it makes eating a whole new experience, almost s…!

Thanks Ros-not among my favourite tipples! -the great thing about Surbiton County was school dinners which to me meant no one breathing down my neck making me eat those disgusting 1950s vegetables. in the fifth year we could go in to Surbiton in the lunch hour -which meant steak pie chips (and beans for the pluted bloatocrats who could afford the extra 6d) + tea for 1/9d in a cafe called( I think) George Henrys situated in St James road Round the back of Surbiton Odeon( now a Waitrose I think). One of the main attractions apart from the freedom and the juke box was the excitment of wondering what you would find in your steak pie -stone , rusty nail , paper clip ,unidentified bone ,fubaprite(geological term), rubber band etc. On one occasion Bert Forward caused panic by arriving on an emergency mission to roust out some kid.
No Ros it’s not that bad -I would still kill for a kitkat chunky or 6-but Iam being careful and sensible-I have eaten fairly my diet has not been all abuse.
Richard!- can you get a Full English Breakfast out there in the backwoods?

Eating healthily is not about punishing yourself and eating tasteless food Dave,there is so much lovely fruit and veg about this time of year, stir fries are brilliant, just think of your 10″ plate as a clock face,1to 6 is veg7 to 9 is meat, fish etc ,10 to 12 rice pasta couscous etc. Here is my recipe for healthy fish and chips,any white fish, dip it in beaten egg and fresh breadcrumbs,5or6 big fat oven chips or homemade wedges,and any type of peas you like including mushy ones! Bake the fish and chips in the oven together until golden brown, go easy on the ketchup! At least be glad that you’re a man because you’re allowed more calories than a woman!

yours truly is trying to hold back the ravages of time -I haven’t eaten anything I like for three weeks -still I hope to be able to get into my suit eventually!-
Yeah Richard and Ros you are both right

I second that Richard, and I would like to add don’t smoke! My husband had a heart attack at the age of 58,he gave up smoking immediately but the following year had a mental breakdown and I am now his carer, so if you can’t do it for yourself do it for your loved ones.

As we all contemplate our mortality,and this is the third death recorded inthis blog.How many others are there from the ranks of our contemporaries?Two thoughts.1)as team doctor may iremind you all to keep exercising,check your cholesterol levels ,and gentlemen have your PSA level checked,ladies have annual mammograms and cervical smears.2) Bernie Kanis and I overlapped at Edinburgh,he was a dental student.We would bump into each other fairly frequently,he always had asmile on his face and thoroughly enjoyed his life.His brother John,attended Medical school at Ednburgh,subsequently became Professor of Medicine at Oxford.There are alot of Old Surbs out there who have quietly done well in their chosen professions.
