I make no claims about the martial prowess of the unennobled lord_adonis. I'm sure he could defeat anybody provided he could draw power from his ancestral car park.

They're literally the reason I learned how to cook 17 years ago or so. So in conclusion the best pasties come from my oven imo Do you make the pastry or buy it? Most american pastry is too sweet so point me at a recipe if you've got a good one.

the solution is clearly to sail the thing to somewhere in Wales so that staff don't have to face London costs of living which would also serve to further regionalise the museums budget, thus achieving multiple government objectives at once anyway snark aside, if I were working at a museum I would be seriously thinking about a career shift, or moving overseas; the Tories have reconciled themselves to free admissions forever but the pressure is on to cash in on the intangibles that the museums have built in the past two decades

the review doesn't say "merge collections so that you can cut down on front line and operations staff, who must also be wholly contracted out" but it may as well do so, what with the combined mandate to forcibly cut operating costs and to meet best value in existing costs and that larger museums have face greater efficiencies in these respects, hint hint?

I went to Moesgaard Museum (MOMU) near Aarhus and the majority of the floor staff there seemed to be PhDs at the local university, I think it was actually part of their course duties to work there. It's a really good museum though, recommended if you find yourself in the area and are interested in archaeology/the history of Northern Europe. ARoS in Aarhus is also well worth a visit.

I worked for the Partnership for a few years and saw a lot of shady practices. If you're going to work in a retail environment JLP's not bad but its not the shining beacon of a democratic business it spends so much effort shouting about. Having worked both Waitrose and John Lewis I'd say Waitrose is the better of the two to work for by a great margin.

If we're going American, two sticks butter diced up (or better half butter half lard, look for the latter in the Mexican aisle), 4 cups flour, teaspoon salt, whiz up in food processor til it resembles course breadcrumbs. Pour into mixing bowl, stir in a bit of water til you have dough, turn out and very quickly knead until it comes together then divide into 6-8 balls depending how big you want them and roll out maybe 1/4 inch thick.

Reminder that pastry dough needs to stay cold up until you stick them in the oven. I throw my doughs in the fridge after the whiz and then dough it up with ice cold water. Comes out great every time.
