Derby man claims mashed potato on toast is 'a culinary classic'

"A fine meal would be nothing without a fine wine and suggestions to accompany mash on toast included Lambrusco and, less appetisingly, paraffin."

Nah, doesnt appeal to me.

Perfect lunch for me today - scotch pie in a roll - lovely.

Scotch pies seem to evoke similar responses to Marmite among people I know. I love 'em.

Sounds like Derby would have been a strong contender for a future European Capital of Culture; shame it most likely won't be eligible any more after 31.10.

Keep the stories coming!

The local slang for Barbados is 'Bim', so that would make Derby 'Dim'.  

Just saying.
