One story caught my eye today. The Surrey police force took to printing the faces of wanted criminals on pancakes. The hope was that they could eventually catch up with the flattened rogues and (is this a joke?) “whisk them away”.
I don’t know how well that’ll go down in H-Wing during the ‘what are you in for’ question.
“How did they get ya, the old bill?”
“Don’t ask.”
“What did you do, steal some dough?”
“Well you know what they say, out of the frying pan...”
It made me wonder whether it might be April 1st. Typical prank: having April Fools’ Day in February. Tsk. Well.
Anyway, no pancakes for me. It’s all been a bit too busy. And it’s not really the kind of party you can have on your own. Though I do like a pancake.
And yes, marmite! You don’t like it? Then use it up! That’s the idea of shriving isn’t it? Chuck it all on your pancakes and then you don’t have to think of it again until Easter.
Happy Mardi-Shrove-Pancake-Tuesday-Gras.
