I still remember friends and family numbers from my youth - the '50s and '60s. Now that I have a phone that stores them, I have no idea what they actually are!

I can't find a reference to "Rocciata cheese". Did you mean "Rocchetta cheese"? If not, where could I locate it?

I personally believe that if you use the words that are familiar to you, they become familiar to others. Zucchini=courgette. Aubergine=eggplant. Anyone who has watched GBBO understands what 'strong' flour is or hearing cornflower for cornstarch, or hob for cooktop.

Be yourself.

The Cliff House in San Francisco. Waiters in black and white, heavy silverware, and I had to use my manners. My great-aunt - born when the first Cliff House was in operation - would take my brother and me there and a simple glare in our direction was enough to make us mind her.

I just had an argument with ChatGPT. I asked a question, it gave a BS answer. I pointed out where it was wrong, it came back with more BS. Again, wrong. It asked anything else and I said no, you don't know what you're talking about. It apologized, saying it was all speculation. It's total crap.
