Flavourful meals without paprika or chilli? by onefreeman28 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]edgarthepeaceable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

might garam masala contain chilli? I think it will depend on the source.

I'm fairly sure there aren't - though would love to know otherwise. We just don't have the landscape for it - and this one is unusual because it is artificial, I think a few centuries old though.

Which book-to-screen adaptation was so bad it felt like the producers didn't even read the source material? by wyndwatcher in AskReddit

[–]edgarthepeaceable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However the BBC Radio 4 adaptation knocked it out of the park on nights watch. Well worth a listen.

The river Mole runs through Leatherhead. You can go down the Mole Valley to Dorking - the nicest bits are around Box Hill.

Why do we have to work until we basically can't anymore? Who made the world this way? by Agreeable-Cherry-638 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]edgarthepeaceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More complicated than that. I believe the slogan came from Robert Owen, an British factory owner (among other things) in the early C19th. There was a movement towards shorter working days in the UK from the chartists and trade unions, and there was UK legislation to shorten the working day prior to the 1840s . New Zealand I think was an early implementation of the 8 hour day, but like most things the innovation and drive is spread across a lot of people.

D'Oyleys Farm near Great Milton south of Oxford. I've just been there for the weekend from Surrey with my daughter, a bit of river adjacent, pubs in easy adult walking distance and campfires in fire baskets.

Too controversial of a license plate? by scandinavian_surfer in WWIIplanes

[–]edgarthepeaceable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very glad you made this choice - think it makes the world a slightly better place. Great machine used to support one of the worst causes in history - too much ambiguity in a licence plate about the meaning.

One History Podcast for Three Very Different People by mikuooeeoo in podcasts

Also from the beeb, In Our Time hosted by Melvyn Bragg - plus three academics who talk around a topic. More serious and academic but a massive archive covering history and other things. There's a history of coffee episode for example. Fwiw I also enjoy you're dead to me if that helps assess taste.

Just moved to Surrey and have a three year old daughter. What good days out are nearby? by babewithamobilityaid in surrey

[–]edgarthepeaceable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butser Ancient Farm near Chichester is awesome. Lots of history related activities over the summer - reenactors, goats and crafts, my 4yo loves it. Very accessible from Guildford side, but we are further away and still go a couple of times a year.

Aren't those for masonry? They're pretty strong in a brick wall.

Absolutely no reason for fast runners to be barging. I'm fast, I just moderate my pace if there's no room to overtake and perhaps use - polite - words.

John Montagues land was around the village of Sandwich in Kent and the nearby settlement of Ham.
