I've never heard of Arnold Bennett but I hope he's tasty.

A famous theatre critic, after which the dish is named. Apparently he came back late to his hotel after a night on the town with an attack of the munchies, and the chef rustled up a dish with what he had to hamd.

Basically it's a souffle omelette filled with smoked haddock and Gruyere. (Although I used basa and extra mature cheddar)

Similar to the one that get's dropped on the floor then the Cats knaw one end before it gets onto the plate, that's an Omelette 'Gordon Bennett.

Most of the prints I got done today were amateur shots gifted to me over the years. And it tells. You can pick out the ones taken by professional photographers in the batch of two dozen. Having said that, camera equipment was a lot more seat-of-the-pants in the mid to late 1980s than it is today, so I can't be too judgmental.

By far the best one is one from the 1986 Formula Ford Festival of a group of cars cresting the brow on the climb up to Druids, with Paddock Hill (and the old Shell Oils logo on the tarmac) in the background.

He'd have been using pen & paper, correcting any mistakes by starting again.

The way things usually go with Excel, that's what I end up doing as well.

First cuppa went down well
Bit of a breeze by the look of the dancing trees.

I think that is a bit unfair to say that you can see the difference between professional and non professional pictures . Most of the public are miles away from the track behind wire mesh and unless they get there early are behind a lot of people . I was reading a bit in an article about a football photographer saying that he used 2 cameras and out of 200 shots would only use 10. Sometimes the non professional photographer may be lucky in capturing something which nobody else saw . Sometimes it is the luck of the draw .

There's a little bit of snow blowing around in the air. Not exactly a blizzard, to be honest..
