I'm fed up. My car has been at the dealers for days because its sick and they don'y know when it will be fixed (just that it will cost a fortune). I've been busy all day lkooking at reqcruitment sites on the web trying to find a job.

Then an e-mail comes in with the subject "OUTDOORSmagic: The truth about cream cakes". Ahh some relief ? No ! Can I find a story about cream cakes on the site or any other sort of cake fot that matter NO ! Baaa Humbus *%^&*$%&(( etc.

Well I'm going to retaliate is there anybody out there who wants to know the truth about goose pimples ?

It beat 'Here is the latest outdoor magazines in brief' as a title, although I agree - it would have been more apt.

But quite clearly it did say "The truth about cream cakes"

It's my fault, Sal was having trouble with a title for the newsletter, so I said erm, 'why don't we just call it the truth about cream cakes? Never thinking that she'd take it seriously. Anyway, the truth about cream cakes is that they are ideal hill food being packed full of vital nutrients, protein, carbohydrate, trace minerals and vitamins, lard etc. They pack down (with compression) to s handy tennis ball-sized block and taste good too.

Okay? And that's the truth.

Are cream cakes really suitable for the hills ? My experience is that they splurrt cream in embarassing manner even before you get your teeth in them. Celebrating with cream cakes on a windy top could lead to a court case if you are not the only one there. There was jam sponge, choc gateau, almond slices etc. (plus plastic sheeting on the village hall floors) on the Bath Beat challenge walk I did on Saturday however no sign of cream cakes. The Bath police who organised the walk probably share my view on the dangers of cream cakes.

DO these bath police come round to sure your bath is clean after you've used it and make sure you've not left a ring, which might annoy your better half (apparently)!

Didn't know that not cleaning the bath was a crime!

Cream cakes are excellent for the hills. My manservant carries mine in a shockproof, rigid case kept at a constant 2-degrees C. They are also more practical than ice cream, oysters, soufles, baked alaska, fried eggs and any number of other foods I could name. I rest my case.
