Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.

British?
I have been watching those clever people on British Bake Off. Not that I wish to emulate them or to eat any of their weird and wonderful concoctions. Too many funny mixtures of ingredients. I'm only capable of old fashioned plain cooking. I'm quite impressed with the fact that so many of them go on to make a career out of cooking. I suppose that explains the emotional involvement., but I do wish we could do away with the "love-in. " I get quite embarrased by the tears and hugs. I don't call that very British. What next? John Humphreys hugging the losing contestants on "Mastermind?
