Fake-Faux: the word is "inured"

   Isn't She A Beauty?

I found this whizzy little machine in Vintage Heaven on a last minute pre-Christmas trip to the flower market on Columbia Road, E2. Sadly, in this time of record fuel prices and increased duty and tax on fuel, replacing my recently defunct electric beaters with this vintage Prestige, woman-powered hand whisk probably won’t make a dent in the inexorably fattening profits of the oil and gas giants and subsequent financial windfall for the Treasury.

At least I will feel a little better, within the paradigm of a belated New Year’s resolution, that I am doing my collective bit which is more than the government's inept fuel and tax policies are doing for the environment (or the pensioners, least we forget them).

There is nothing left to be said but to whip up a lemon meringue pie, now that’s true ‘Labour’ in the old sense of the word.
