Help me out, a "pasty" is what exotic dancers put on their nipples so they can say they weren't nude and avoid a fine.

Edit: I googled it. All good. I don't recommend putting one of them on your nipples, though.

Not while it's still hot from the oven.

Doesn't take much to make you happy, which is a good trait to have.

They look a little pale - almost pasty. Do you have to cook them?

Yep, they are frozen at the bakers before distributing, to be cooked at home. They get one hour in teh oven at 180 degrees.

I have one baking now.

Desperately trying to keep my hands off it until it has cooled down...

And for those of you keeping score at home, that's 356 degrees in the old money.

Speaking of which, one 50th anniversary which took place this month with zero fanfare, as far as I could see, was D-Day, or decimalization of the UK currency. Until 15 Feb 1971 all prices were in pounds, shillings and pence (£ s d) - 20 shillings to the pound, 12 pennies to the shilling. The US had this system until the adoption of the dollar/cent currency in 1791. (Curiously, although it was one of the first countries to adopt an entirely decimal system for the money, it remains one of the few to stick to non-metric measurements.) Doing calculations in the old money was a pain and of course we did not have electronic cash registers which told us how much change to give the customer. Having said that - calling it a pain - I don't recall any real problems. Everyone knew how to do it. I worked in an off-license (i.e., an establishment licensed to sell beer, wines and spirits to be consumed off the premises) during my undergraduate years and it was never an issue. In some sense I wonder if changing the currency meant that the country lost a mental dexterity everyone had to have in order to survive.

There was a period - a few months - where prices of goods were displayed in both the old and the new format, and so both the old and the new currency were circulating together for a while. My first purchase on that day was lunch in the university cafeteria.

WE should have stayed with the old money, it was far more fun.
