Better than Sainsburys

I was putting out some salmon that I had prepared and a customer told her friend 'The salmon here is so much better than Sainsburys". I dont know if she did it so i would purposely hear. She might have wanted to compliment the salmon, without actually having to confront me. To be honest, I do like it when people say they have enjoyed the fish, however I do feel guilty in receiving compliments. Unless its on how well ive prepared the fish, the quality of the fish isnt down to me. Its sent in, and i prepare it. If it is low quality fish, there is no way I can magically turn it into good fish. So i a way, the customer is just saying "thanks for not selling me substandard fish."

Im going to see Daniel Kitson tomorrow. Hopefully he wont want me to give up because of how good he is.

Its my birthday on 15th of june and i have booked a trip to Blackpool with my mate James Barber. (Hello James!) I enjoy spending time with James as we are both like minded chaps. Not that we have many things in common, more that we have the same philosophies and opinions. We see the world through similar eyes. I think I will enjoy Blackpool for its imperfections and its ability to reflect Britain and its flaws. I wouldnt mind taking in a nice quiz night whilst im there. The chap at the bed and breakfast seemed very friendly and gave me lots of advise about booking attractions. I hope there is a dog at the b and b.

On the telly at the moment, Waitrose have an ad campaign with a tv chef where he shows you how to cook a lemon tart. In the advert he recommends you use coins on the parchment to weigh down the dough during baking. I was watching the advert today and my mother pointed out that they have cut out this part. Do you reckon they have had complains from people who have hurt themselves from misunderstanding what the coins are used for?
