Uhuh :D

Me too :rolleyes:
Actually I own a Webtex collapsable basin (bowl) that I use for washing in when out and about, and it's very good.
I think I'm going to applique flowers and leaves on my tepee just to add to the confusion ;)

Cheers,
Toddy

Narr, the real hippies aint so bad, and its only the male ones that smell, (I know that's sexist, not only that, it's an unashamed attempt to dig myself out of yet another hole).
Do you like Dylan?

Right, back on thread.

'The Week' magazine has now said foraging is 'in' this season.

Wow, first time I've been cool.

Oh @##*#!! That is depressing.

Expect to see whole brigades of Chelsea Tanks tearing around the coutryside, unloading cart-loads of Barbour-clad twits bearing Gary Rhodes "foraging for fools" airport bestseller, grabbing huge amounts of natures finest just to impress their dispicable friends at their painfully trendy rustic soarays in their overpriced Islington lofts. Someone get me a sick-bag I think I'm going to Chuck!

The more people that stay at home the better…..leave it to those who know how to exist in harmony with it and treat it with respect. :eek:

I pray that we too stay conscious of our own shortcomings and keep trying to improve ourselves. I bet there's plenty of deer and others that would love to see bushcrafters stay out of their home too...
So if we go there, let us realize that we are in their home, be good guests, and leave when we feel we're not welcome...

Live and Love,
Anneke

Calm down mate and be serious, they are not going to get out of their "tanks", they might get their shoes dirty. Its cool to talk about it, thats all. We are safe in our mud, me thinks...........

Ok, thanks guys, I'm a bit calmer now, but that was a close one, I almost decended into rant hell, the thought of bumping into the Prada Posse whilst out and about sent shivers down my spine.
I'm sure Gary Rhodes (apparently, according to his PR folks Gary was Britain's first 'Punk Chef',eerrrrwhat????!!!!!) will bring out a foraging book tho. I'm not going to dig the other guy out tho (Pukka), because he's slightly more believable (I wonder if he was Britain's first 'Chav Chef'???).
Nope. The trendy cool can stick to trying a million ways to make quorn taste like something other than quorn (nothing basically) for all I care, as long as they stay out of my way yaaarrrr.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of those TV chefs brought out a forraging book, it does seem to be all the talk at the mo............

It's already been done, kind of. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has been doing foraging and whatnot for years. And isn't Ray's new programme going to be about natural food in the UK?

Let's make proper use of nature's harvests, although please leave enough blackberries and sloes for me!

There was a thread about mushrooms somewhere else on the forum about commercial scale foraging by trendy food companies employing minimum wagers to pick the land bare for them.

I didn't like it at all.
