    BTW, at the BBQ we seemed to run out of plates and I was baffled as I brought loads but then they turned up again at the end

    So, I still have loads of plates and serviettes, a couple of dozen forks and about the same number of glasses, so I've put them away for next time!

    To the greedyguts who arrive, scoff and leave - as Fletch says, there are givers and takers. Takers might be smug that they've got something for nothing but on the whole I find givers have a happier outlook from their generosity of spirit. I'm happy to bring a bit extra for those who genuinely didn't realise and want to join in but repeat offenders probably shouldn't be encouraged. (If I do find out who you are there will be no more cake for you!) But in general I cater for the 5000 anyway so PM would probably say what's the difference?

    I usually find at BBQ's that everyone brings sausages or other bbq-ables, but not enough other stuff. I like the fact that at Southport it seems to balance out. We brought a BBQ (which then went all shy and refused to light, thank you Fletch for letting us start one of yours!), shishkebabs and pittabread, lettuce, cucumber slices, a huge potato salad (2kg of potatoes!) and of course, cake.

    I had nibbles of various salady things so thank you to all that brought stuff. And again to Aleks for the crumbles - cherry, apple-blackberry and rhubarb . It's a miracle I managed to dance afterwards.

    Much as I'm looking forward to the next BBQ, I'm not one for standing around in the freezing cold / pouring rain / gales. So how are we going to manage it in February?

    I belive the people that think they get some thing for nothing don't in the end, they end up with less, cos people get wise to them, but they can't see it

    I didn't mind bringing the stuff, but I didn't wan't to mess with it the smoke from the BBQ'S was making my make up run, any way that a mans job I was to busy catting

    Re: SP Forum BBQ policing...

    In February, we will be dressed for it i would imagine. You know, warm coats, hats, gloves, so the cold wont matter so much. I think the problem this time was the weather was a bit decieving and none of us were wrapped up properly as it turned somewhat chilly.

    MInd you, i found standing by the barbies nice and warm. xxx

    I for one will be freezing no matter how many layers of warm clothing I have on.

    WHAT!!!!!!!

    I'm sure your soup is yummy and all that but you can hardly compare soup and crumbles, especially the way that you make them.

    Surely you mean 'as well as' not 'instead of'?

    Wouldn't that run through the grill ?

    As stated above by Lemoncake. I don't really mind freeloaders. I'm a generous sort of guy and chances are, I'd bring enough nosh for twice as many people that were there anyway.

    Sometimes it's impractical .. especially if they've not prepared in advance to make something. but people who do it year in and year out.. they're taking liberties IMHO.

    Re: SP Forum BBQ policing...

    I must confess, I came to the BBQ with Mini Mac and we never contributed anything

    But I did take lots of PAPS! which I will post eventually ! and email any of them to anyone who wants them for free!

    ( Including some Up the Kilt and Throught the window shots that may have a special "for charity" price tag attatched to not post them? ( You know who you are!)

    And Ive been amiss with my manners
    A BIG THANKS to those who's food we ate especially LEMON CAKE AND ALEKS!!( you can keep your soup give me cake n Crumble with Custard anyday!)

    who between them totally blew my Protian dominant, Energy efficient Muscle reparing, Fat minimising, diat right out of the window!
