Daughter used to come visiting - can I have a banana mum, off to kitchen - 10 mins later still in there so I wander in knowing she's added a whole can of custard :-S

My Gran used to make rice pudding for after dinner pudding and Blancmange and jelly for tea on a Sunday.

If my Dad had to work he would put the blancmange and jelly in with the cold rice pudding and call it "Cawl Potch" :-D :-D :-D
