Soeur | Sunday, April 08, 2001 - 06:06 pm  I know it's a little early...but our very own Nancy091158 is heading off for a very exciting holiday. So, just as our Juju2bigdog returns from down under we can vicariously live through another traveller. I'm pasting what Nancy posted about her planned itinerary (links to follow after her plane lifts off) "...4 plays in 7 days..(my fair lady-the secret garden-only a shakespeare play(the name escapes me right now but its the one with oberon and the fairies) and a new play called god only knows..plus seeing shakespares home--warwick castle and another castle..plus a couple of backstage tours..PLUS the normal big ben etc..all in and around london staying at a hotel called "millenium gloucester" which is funny because i used to live in gloucester mass..(named i think for that gloucester england)" |

Bijoux | Monday, April 09, 2001 - 05:50 pm  Nancy, True that humans can't get sick from eating meat from animals that have foot and mouth disease, however Great Britain is still eradicating BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy - mad cow disease) and BSE has been linked to new variant Creutzfelt-Jakof Disease in humans. They've had 122 confirmed cases in cattle so far this year. If you want to eat beef, avoid beef with bones and ground meat. BSE resides in the nervous symptom, not the meat. I think Great Britain still bans the sale of bone-in beef, but there has been talk of removing the ban. |
Nancy091158 | Monday, April 09, 2001 - 06:05 pm  Lol Sis, Bijoux thanks i hadnt heard about the creutzfelt disease but i will keep it in mind--prob stick to chicken or pasta for the most part--i dont do fish other than haddock and flounder..(this coming from a girl who used to work at gorton's (frozen seafood) LOL |
Twiggyish | Monday, April 09, 2001 - 06:47 pm  Bijoux, now that is food for thought. It is a scary prospect. |
Moondance | Monday, April 09, 2001 - 07:13 pm  Yeah Vegetarians! |
