Low tide

It’s not about not having respect for Preston it’s that some of his stories are of a similar vein that people have decided not to continue reading this story.

I have to agree with the comments from @GanymedeRex and @Anton_Cloche, I have stopped reading several of @quokkas stories for the same reasons. I also switch off when authors start talking about religion, because there are so many judgemental ignorant hypocrites that bash our community that I have no time for them, if they want to believe in fairytales and magic Sky daddies then that’s up to them, but don’t tell me how to live my life. On another note I have enjoyed reading Edwin’s adventures in Scotland, so much so that I want to go back and visit there next year.

You have now inspired me to go back to Scotland again, having only been there once in 17 years that I have lived in London, my husband as been to Scotland more times than myself but as he usually goes for a cycling holiday, I don’t go, we had planned to spend the August Bank Holiday weekend there and after the weekend he would venture off on his pushbike and I would have come home, but that all changed due to Covid-19 etc. There is always next year

Good chapter, there are a few typos, where you refer to Robert as James and the Earl of Crawley not Crawford

As an Aussie where voting in every election is compulsory, it also baffles me as to why so many people don’t vote, we don’t vote we are sent a fine in the mail, all our elections are held on a Saturday, some schools also have people cooking sausages to raise money for the school and you can have some lunch after you have voted. Here in the UK we vote on Thursday which is an issue because people either vote before going to work or after work and that’s when there are long queues at the polling stations.

Does it ever get you down when you have meetings with your client and the ex partner? We hear of people fighting over animals, kids, possessions etc, life is too short to worry about the small stuff, animals and possessions can be replaced. There is Nowt as Queer as Folk.

Oh wow that was so intense, but very revealing and I think that it would make a few readers think about their life. 💕

Typical damn fundys, so judgemental and narrow minded in their view on religion, if you don’t bow down to us then look out.

It’s Knottacular 😂😂🏳️‍🌈 Mrs G seems to be rather busy or her muses aren’t talking to her lately as there is a delay in the last few chapters being posted

I have only been to pride events once in London but missed the parade, I have watched the parade in New York once, we were in an air conditioned shop as it as too hot during the day. Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade is on at nighttime, which is so much better than day time. It’s the 1st Saturday in March, after the parade there is an all night dance party at the Horden Pavilion finishing on Sunday at 8:00am.

The sooner we can get rid of the churches the world will become a better place

I am glad that Eric is drawing again, it will give him some enjoyment in his life. Looks like he might have escaped the clutches of the two evil Jehovah witnesses in the cafe

That asshat needs to be hung, drawn and quartered. Felicity needs to get out of the house now, before she gets killed

Fish fingers in custard? never heard of it, I think that you mean tomato sauce or as Americans call it ketchup. Some people use tartare sauce but that’s not custard. Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish, made of sheep’s offal, (heart, lungs, liver) Oatmeal, suet, onion and spices cooked in the sheep’s stomach or sausage casing can be used and served with Neeps and tatties, ( parsnips and mashed potatoes) another working class dish.

Jellied eels are a traditional working class dish from the 19th Century, eaten cold another favourite dish is pie, mash and parsley liquor, the liquor being the water that the eels were stewed in, there are still several pie, mash and eel shops in the East End of London, and some shops here in South East London. Goddards of Greenwich have been in business since 1890, and they are still always busy. Often these dishes were the staple diet of the dock workers and barrow boys of the markets around Petticoat Lane and other parts of London’s East End. https://www.goddardsatgreenwich.co.uk

It’s the spices that come out of the pores

Mmmm 🍗 McNuggets I can just taste the oil and flour, pass no thanks

I feel sorry for your friends that have to take that from their mother, if it had been me, I would have just cut off all contact with her, if she cannot accept her own flesh and blood for who I am then I don’t want anything to do with her. I know that it’s easier said than done, but it’s my life and I will live it how I want to. I am the most important person in my life, we need to love ourselves before we can love anyone else, the second most important person in my life is my husband. People need to move on from negative, selfish hateful and toxic people, it doesn’t do you any good to your self esteem, your relationship with others and it will eventually affect your health. Life is to short to appease selfish people, live your life for you. Religion and narrow minded people have a lot to answer for. Read Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins

Several teachers are trying to introduce LGBT studies in schools in England, the biggest protesters are the Muslim parents, who are hideously judgemental but it’s ok for them to talk about their magic sky friend and call others who don’t follow their religion infidels. It annoys me the way they carry on, there is a mosque in South East London that has a sign that states love all, hatred for none. Very seldom anyone takes notice of this.

At the present moment in America the voters seem to prefer old men over anyone else. It’s definitely the power of the penis and who is the best liar, the same here in the UK we have a complete babbling, incompetent buffoon in charge.

The way they treated Alan Turing after what he did for England and the war was just damn outright appalling, the government should be ashamed of themselves. I can recommend a visit to Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes as it is a fascinating place.

Yorkshire puddings used to be cooked in the oven under the meat that was roasting so that they caught the fat dripping off the meat, this was meant to fill you up when food was rationed during WW2, My grandmother said some people used eat bread and dripping (lard or fat) for the same reason. Some people like Yorkshire pudding to mop up the gravy on their plate, personally I prefer spuds for that.

A good chapter, I had black pepper ice cream once, it was nice. I do miss the Haagen Dazs shop in Leicester Square, London, they had some nice ice creams. There is a new store called Udder Delicious a lot of the ice cream is hand made, and they also have a vegan range which is quite scrummy.
