  I am usually pretty harsh on politicians, however I accept that they have worked extremely hard, French, English, Americans, various Arabs and others, to get this resolution passed.

• 10:58 PM Mike3 on A winning fresh fruit tart recipe

  Dear Ms Flanders, Could you sketch the shock scenario? I'd guess Higher interest rates => clearing out marginal companies, reducing property prices, deflation. Resulting in lower costs for surviving companies + deflation (negatively sloping demand curve increases quantity demanded, people do not just sit and wait) => increased demand and growth (and then learning economies + reskilling and rebalancing).

• 10:58 PM John_from_Hendon on Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Thomas Keller of French Laundry

  The Bank of England and the Treasury are therefore pursuing an entirely unsupportable policy. There is no supporting evidence of theoretical basis which could possible see what they are doing as anything by destructive and a prelude to a deep and long lasting depression lasting fro two or three decades. In short we are following exactly the same economic path as the Japanese and we can see that this has led them to a prolonged depression.

  I see a lot of whinging amongst the UK public about the drop in living standards, but little do they know that this is actually what is required if we are to secure our long term future and prosperity.

  "and the worry that slow baidugrowth will become a self-fulfilling prophesy by destroying capacity and skills." The impressive growth in manufacturing exports recently may be false dawn because over the years there has been that diminution of capacity and skills. I am confident that in the midst of rising unemployment the manufacturing sector will be complaining soon about skills shortage and an inability to fund investment in physical capacity and technology. It will be no surprise as all governments since 1979 have preferred to 'stroke' the City in the conduct of economic policy. This one will not break the mould.

• 10:53 PM verano on The Patron Secret Dining Society aboard The Arabella in Newport

  "an astonishing fact - that the corporate insolvency rate in the UK is currently at a 30-year low" ... and thereby we have the results of the economic policy of the economists (regardless of the politicians) who manage the Bank of England. but at last, the debate has begun between slow growth (an over-damped economic system) and dynamic pruning-and-growth (a less-damped economic system). Given that we do not want simple economic recovery, but want complex economic reincarnation, the importance of stimulating the activity of individuals and small enterprises should be taking precedence over the protection of medium to large to global corporations.

• 1:40 PM Jim Cunningham on Car crashes into Mainelli's Restaurant on Chalkstone Avenue

  I remember when I was a boy nore than 60 years ago, I caddied at Triggs and my brother and I would go in the back door at Mainellis and get Meatball sancwiches and french fries for a total price of twenty five cents and it was delicious. I live in California but when I get back east I still get up to Mainelli's for a meal. Tom Pilkington and Ray Testa, Two fine Rhode Island golfers, also used to eat and drink there. I remember an older Italian lady sitting in the kitchen, with a large galvanized tub, making meatballs. These are very fond memories of my youth. Jim Cunningham
