I like the way the MMPers always welcome back the rare posters such as myself. I always read it but don’t often feel I have any worthwhile comments but when I do there’s always somebody to say hi and welcome back. 's nice. 🙂 I don’t really like fish. Cept for haddock or cod which I don’t eat much cos of over fishing. I had some thai fishcakes in amazingly good chilli sauce once and they were not bad but in general I am not a fan of fish whether they are fresh or fusty.
