RE: [lace-chat] Richard III remains
Jean The person quoted in the piece about the announcement of Richard III's remains on the BBC website is Dr John Ashdown-Hill, I'm not sure if he was the person at the press conference. But he did his PhD at Essex University and I met him when he was there. I didn't warm to him personally, but he certainly is a serious historian. And I don't believe there's any reason to doubt the DNA results. I think it's very exciting and it doesn't matter where he's buried. I seem to remember that there's a small, but excellent, museum about him somewhere in the York city walls. Alison in Essex UK Just been listening to my local radio station. Professor Martin Biddle, Professor of Medieval Archaeology at Oxford University, is involved in producing a map of Winchester in 1800 is doubting that the bones were those of Richard III. He claims that the excavation wasn't done properly - in fact nothing was done properly - and that the DNA results presented were not convincing, although he admits he isn't a geneticist.

RE: [lace-chat] Buffalo wings and spicy foods
Liz I couldn't agree more, both DD and I are allergic to all forms of dairy food, and certainly in the UK when eating out desserts are all but impossible. In restaurants they very rarely understand what is actually in the food they are serving up. In the supermarket I have to read the small print on everything, it's very frustrating!

I can eat butter, and cream, but yoghurt - the fruit variety in small does is OK, but the Greek style is far too close to cheese for me to eat. They even have cheese over roast dinners, - well the potato and vegies, so I wind up, - if I am lucky_ with chips - fries in USA, I think! And sometimes they seem to think I am kidding. Well, - the results of me eating cheese is - to be polite, - like severe travel or sea sickness, and I am sure they would not like That everywhere!!! :-) Why do they have to muck about with food like that?!!! A nice gravy would be much better than cheese sauce over it all!!! :-) Regards from Liz in Melbourne lizl...@bigpond.com To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.

[lace-chat] Stain removal
Thank you for all your suggestions. I have put the correction fluid on several pieces of cloth, thanks for that suggestion. I am assuming that it wasn't the water based stuff as I had a terrible job getting it off my hands. Now I need to see if I can find some tippex thinner. The nail varnish remover I thought of first definitely didn't work!

[lace-chat] Stain removal
Hi I managed to get some Tipp-ex (correction fluid) on my trousers yesterday and am wondering whether it is possible to get it off without ruining my (almost new) trousers. I don't know what the correction fluid is made of, but wondered if nail varnish remover might help? Has anybody had this problem and solved it? Hopefully one you might have some ideas.

[lace-chat] Love and marriage
What a great question! He proposed to me in his car outside my house, so far so ordinary. But the car was a Sunbeam Talbot 2 litre drophead coupe, one of only 40 something ever made. By the time they got back to production after World War II automotive design had moved on and so they remained a bit of a dinosaur. It was beautiful, with running boards, and huge headlights. We used it for our wedding car, but eventually he had to choose between rebuilding it and bringing up 3 children and the children won! We've been married 34 years. We had some fun in that car, I remember when the brakes failed one day, we were heading towards a row of stationary traffic and luckily there was a turning on our left and we headed for that and managed to stop. And then there was the time the electrics failed at dusk and we had to go the long way back to his house to avoid going past the police station. Happy days, but then I also remember falling over the battery in the bathroom and other bits of car all over the house. Mind you, I wouldn't change him for the world and now we have a much more reliable car.

RE: [lace-chat] Easter!!!!!!
We saw Easter eggs out on display in our local Tescos last Thursday morning (1 January)! Never seen them this early. Alison in very chilly Essex UK From my ISP's new pages Shoppers at a supermarket were stunned to see Easter eggs on sale - four days after Christmas. The Sun reports customers burst out laughing as staff put out Easter Treats displays of daffodils and chocolates on Monday. Stephen Roland, 31, said: I couldn't believe it. Selling Easter eggs three or four days after Christmas is ludicrous - particularly when Easter is in April next year. Cadbury's Creme Eggs, Easter Chicks and chocolate bunnies were on sale feet away from cut-price Christmas crackers and wrapping paper at the Tesco store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. A Tesco spokesman said that their stores all over Britain will soon be putting up their Easter displays.

RE: [lace-chat] Wedding anniversaries
Hi Patricia If no one else has replied, the 30th anniversary, as far as I'm aware, is the pearl anniversary. Mine was 31/2 years ago.

What is the symbol of a thirtieth wedding anniversary? I know the 25th is silver and the 40th is ruby but the 30th escapes me.
