lord i wasnt laughing at a question i was laughing at a statement made by andrewo about fern britton having an affair with james martin....seeing as fern has been married to phill vickery for about 10 years then if it was james that broke her first marriage up then it would have been a feat he would have been around 19 - 20 and i know that he was in france at that time.. he didnt return to uk till he was 21 and went to work in winchester where a woman handed him her card and he went for an interview...for ready steady cook the rest is history...

You seem to know a lot about him fudgelover, has he got an injunction out on you yet?????!!!????

You have a point though, quite an amusing thought!

[blackkitty]

We saw James at the Midlands food fair in Melton Mowbray last month and one of the first things he said in his presentation was that it was Phil Vickery and not him who was married to Fern, so I guess its a common mistake. We queued to get his autograph and I was amazed at how vicious ladies of a certain age can get. We were near the front of the queue but got elbowed and pushed out of the way when he arrived. I must say the poor man looked positively terrified
we also saw Clarissa Dickenson Wright and were able to actually chat to her as she wasn't attracting the same bloodthirsty crowd.

lol you cant get an injuction out on your family! ...xx

Oh?? Long lost relation or something? Or a bit closer to home? If he's a relation have you had the chance to sample any of his home grown veg yet? If so whats it like? Mr D didnt fancy the carrots cooked in butter and sugar, but I thought they looked delish!

[annie trip]

Maybe you could put a word in with him and get some mutual backscratching done,he could promote the gyo magazine and someone could give him some tips and advice. I am allways available and wouldnt mind trying that hot tub out!!!

[Nicos]

Now that's a good idea!!
So fudge...please tell us that you inherited more of the green fingers ??
Do you grow any fruit or veg???

[beefy]

Just back from my travells and catching up. Thought you knew a little to much about James fudgelover and that you had used his dogs name for your Posting name .While we have been mostly talking about the Digs Deep prog , I watched the Yorkshires Finest the other night .Have to say it was a far superior programme .
No chance you could get James to come on some night to say hello and take part in a question and answer session ?

[Alison]

Are we actually sure that Fudgelover isn't really James undercover getting a bit of feedback on his new show?????? Could get conspiracies going if I try hard enough..............

[Mrs Dobby]

[Nicos]

Bit of fun as I see it ...but a bit of +ve feedback would be appreciated ...otherwise we could feel a little be used!!!
In your hands fudge!!

[Lesley Jay]

Fudgelover if James does fancy doing anything for this forum just tell him to send me a PM !!!

If he is growing vegetables next year we could give him loads of advice!

[Tigger]

Well now - I'll declare myself as a JM fan from the outset, but even if I wasn't, his naivety and enthusiasm is infectious.

This man has some serious money to spend but gets excited about a seed germinating and the smell of tomatoes. He remembers his grandparents veg garden and his dad's responsibilities at Castle Howard.

OK - so we now have a number of Celebrity Chefs interested in rearing their own livestock and/or growing veg - Jamie Oliver, Nick Nairn, Gordon Ramsey, James Martin, Hugh F W., and others. That's what we wanted them to do and why are we now criticising them for doing this?

[Lesley Jay]

I am not criticising any of the chefs for wanting to grow their own vegetables and fruit Any way to promote growing your own I think is important.
