I've been asked to explain a few things to people who aren't English (we forgive most of you) - specifically the following:
1) A Septic = An American
Derived from the cockney rhyming slang 'Septic Tank', meaning 'Yank'.
2) Bubble & Squeak
Bubble & Squeak is (as far as I'm concerned) a Boxing Day meal. It's simply all the leftover cooked vegetables from Christmas Day finely chopped, mixed together and then fried in butter until browned on both sides. It's yum.
According to this it can be had after any roast, but I've only had it on Boxing Day with cold turkey and HP Sauce. I made it for Mrs Red Squirrel when she was over - to my own recipe as I try to avoid eating anything green (so therefore Roast Potatoes, Roast Parsnips, Carrots and Cauliflower). It was well received.
3) HP Sauce
You can stick your 'A1 Steak Sauce' up your arse, because there's a new sauce Daddy in town:
Omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom...........
I think that covers everything :)
I'll leave you with the advert/placard for yesterday's edition of the Bristol Evening Post. I don't know about you, but it made me want to find out what the hell it meant too!

Does Mrs Squirrel know you're living in a city whose name is a slang word for titty?
Oooh...Bubble and Squeak sounds very yummy!
The Evening Post thing is strange.
Nice job helping out us yanks Little Squirrel!
:)
Of course she does... and she thinks it's hilarious.
Hello Mrs. Red Squirrel!
Hope you're feeling better!
:)
gb - I think she answered that herself!
Sweet Cheeks - bubble & squeak must be had with HP sauce though. I insist :-P
Sweet Cheeks,
Thanks a lot! I am indeed feeling a bit better and worse at the same time. But things seem to be looking up. In any case my Mr is going to visit me soon and then all will be just peachy. :)
