What's everyone having as their Easter treat?

They're not fancy, but they taste good

I may do a roast dinner too, I'm off work Fri, Sat, and Sun

The most important thing is that you like them Fluffy.

(I like the choc raisins)

I bought several meat joints for the freezer as it is very cheap this week - I will be having a nice roast with cheesy mash and cabbage. Most of my veg was 20p - bargain.

I may push the boat out and get my chocolate cake out the freezer.

I've already eaten about 6 Easter eggs this year, I looked in why they taste nicer its something to do with the shape of the egg and air getting in or something.

Raisins are too sweet for me, unless they are in a bun, but your roast joint sounds nice, and so does your chocky cake. Did you make it?

Is there proper evidence that they taste better, we shouldn't take this as fact, without a thorough testing of a wide variety of eggs. 6 is nowhere near enough for a proper comparison, we will have to resign ourselves to eating thousands, it's the only way

I've tried the England thing and it backfired, so I'll try it again in a few weeks. I want to be like you guys.

That's probably why I chose CockneyRebel as a username in 2004.

No I didn't make it.
I have stocked up on meat so I will be eating like a queen for quite some time.
It is so expensive for the basics these days.

It would do if it was an England thing, just to be difficult.

Are you trying to like all things English? English people don't, we love bits, we hate bits. And we moan, even about the bits we like.

I was trying to fit in with the majority of the people on WP in the beginning of the week two weeks ago with all the British avatars and I guess It backfired, hence the offensive avatars I didn't know not to use. I felt like the odd person out after reading the Nazi thread in PPR and I figured that The British are the most popular people in the world and I guess that I wanted to be popular, so I tried to be like you guys. It didn't work out so well the day that I started with the Routemaster.

Some of the members here scare me. The ones who hate incontinent people and the ones who hate Germans because of the Holocaust.

@CockneyRebel
I can't imagine that many Brits would find avatars of our cultural icons offensive, so long as they are respectful (and I can't imagine you would be any other way.) It seems rather flattering to me, if anything. Like you, I find Germano-phobia based around past conflicts and the Nazi regime to be in bad taste - it is the whole world who should "never forget - never again", not just the peoples of the former Axis countries (should I be made to feel guilty because of the British concentration camps during the Boer War?)

Never mind soccer and cricket - this is truly our national sport; competitive whining! :lol:

I like German people. I get along with them great. I like people like Sgt Schultz.

I don't like Nazis, though. Whether or not they're German.
