oldbloke's mutterings

For anybody not on Keith's mailing list:
Looks like there's going to be another poker game for uk.misc/LJ folk.
It'll be pretty cheap compared to the 250quid-to-sit-down games at the Vic in That London... Stakes haven't been discussed yet but I imagine you'd want to bring somewhere between 15 and 30 quid.
It'll be a Saturday, sometime in April or May the way things are looking right now.
If interested, let me know what dates you can do.

This month's FT Mythchaser column is about the purported use of wooden fakes of raspberry pips in dodgy jam.
A quick Google will find it rumoured to have happened in Victorian times, or during WW1, or during and after WW2.
Best hit seems to be a ref to Sylvia Pankhurst setting up a jam factory to make the real stuff employing the women who'd been making the wooden pips, in WW1. But of course as soon as you Google her name you just get load sof politics. She mentioned it in a book she wrote in '31, apparently. None of this is proof it was ever actually true.
Anybody know?
