Dear O Sung Wu,

Please excuse all the typos in my previous post.
My computer's playing up again.

o sung wu,

Jane Caro is just another human headline. -As can be expected of someone from advertising and like some others, she could talk under water with her mouth full of marbles.

It is what we get instead of news and proper investigative journalism.

Remember back when you could settle down on the weekend with a BLT (decent bun and with beetroot, mind), a long cup of percolator coffee (can't buy those Sunbeam percs anymore, now coffee is tied to marketing of expensive knick-knacks and product lines) and articles in the broadsheet newspaper? OK, so those days have gone.

Dear O Sung Wu,

Jane Caro's background is quite impressive.
As the following two links show.
She does appear to wear many hats.

Perhaps she was having an "off-night" on Monday?

Otb,

Whadaya mean those days have gone?...I'm sipping on a percolated coffee right now.

It's a silver Arcosteel.

I put in the water.

I put in the coffee.

I stick it on the hotplate...

And voila!

Yes, very functional, however the 240V Sunbeam bubbled away and changed setting to keep 'New Guinea Gold' coffee hot and ready.

Nothing like the expensive cockroach breeding houses* being marketed now as 'coffee machines'.

*so the pest guy was telling me and he would know.

Dear Poirot,

Now you're making me drool.

I have a Breville Cafe Cordfree Percolator - 12 cup.
That I use for dinner parties only.

I love percolated coffee - but unfortunately I'm not
allowed to drink it any more (increases my blood
pressure). It took me a while to get used to not
drinking coffee - but sadly for me those days are
gone.
