[lace-chat] CRB

[Jean Nathan]

Poole has a large number of foreign students studying English. It's been 
reported in our local paper today that all members of families over the age 
of 18 who host these students will all have to be CRB checked at their own 
expense at a cost of £64 per person per household. The host families get 
paid a fee for hosting the students, but this could make a hole in what they 
receive.

I've never bothered making tomato ketchup, but I have made plum ketchup.  It
needs about 3 months to mature and then tastes really good.
