Sandie Peggie: Employment Tribunal, associated legal claims, and related matters - thread #68

We have a history of doing 'synchronised donating' as a gesture of support for SP, and of gratitude to NC and the legal team during the first tribunal.

We donated to Sex Matters for NC&co.

For Sandie, we donated to the Scottish Society for Rheumatology - the family requested donations to it when her father died. The SSR must have been surprised to receive this big uptick in donations all at once, so we let them know that they were in memory of Mr Peggie and in support of Sandie and the family.

A 'synchronised badge-pre-ordering' would be great, and we can let Sandie know it's a gesture of support for her.

Sorry, I know this is a derail, but it's a different kind of derail

It surprises me when Anglicans who dislike the ordination of women decide to become Roman Catholics instead - there have been some very high profile ones, including the late Anne Widdicombe RIP.

It's like the only difference between the CofE and the RC church was the ordination of women/'progressiveness'. What about papal infallibility? the virgin birth? transubstantiation not consubstantiation? the Immaculate Conception? [not the same as the virgin birth]? and indeed clerical celibacy.

Are we to believe that when they approached the RC church asking if they could join because they didn't want women priests, the RC church said 'well OK but you have to sign up to all our Terms and Conditions, not just the 'thou shalt not ordain women' one' but the Anglicans looked at the list of Ts&Cs and said
'Yeah yeah fine whatever where do I sign?'.

I don't get it. Why don't they apply for a transfer on the basis of any of the other significant differences?

Badge is brilliant too 💪

Just love the proposed RCN badge - wonder if we will see a response?

The proposed Rcn badge is a thing of beauty.
Love it

I wish I had a copy of that paper!

Cue the TRAs at RCN HQ having a hissy fit.

BTW - have any London people seen whether they are still flying the Progress flag? If they are reporting them to the LA for not having planning permission would be a good move too.

Wonder if people can contact the RCN and express an interest prior to it (presumably!) being stocked? To demonstrate a demand, as it were. I'd pre-buy for sure.

Oh that’s excellent!

Brilliant. Let's see their response.

Indeed.

Will there be an official response? 🤔

Just came to share that badge -

Women Won't Wheesht have played a blinder.

It is lovely- not sure about butter instead of marg, but probably, though I usually put the butter (thick slabs and marmalade has been known) onto slices once cooked:)
Yes, small loaf tins work well - we have always used 2x loaf tins (lined with greaseproof) - not good with sizes but not the large ones.
Makes the whole house smell wonderful.

Looks delicious, thank you @Veilsofmorning
Is it one that gets better after a few days?

Thank you, that looks lovely.

Cor that sounds yum. Could butter be used instead of marg? And would it be baked in a loaf tin - what size? My DH loves ginger things so he’d really like this.

Not sure what happened to photo so here’s the recipe - apologies for using 3 posts!
Isle of Rhum Gingerbread (sorry, pre-decimal)
6oz marg; 5oz soft brown sugar; 1/2 cup (8 oz) black treacle; ditto golden syrup; 1 cup milk; 1teaspoon each of ground ginger; ground cloves; cinnamon & bicarbonate of soda.A little hot water; 12 oz plain flour; 1 or 2 eggs.
in a pan, place marg, sugar, treacle, syrup & spices. Set on gentle heat until warm. Add milk. Pour into a bowl and add beaten eggs and bicarbonate that has been dissolved in hot water. Lastly, add flour and beat well. The mixture will be runny. Add walnuts or preserved ginger if desired.
Medium oven 325 Fahrenheit (mark 3 / 180 C) for 1 and half hours but check before end. If making 2 loaves the time is about 50 mins but again check near end.

No photo yet, continuing to hope.

Photo will appear soon, I hope. Despite using cups as a measure, this is not a US recipe- a real Scottish recipe, Mum from Edinburgh- just use a real cup, recipe is fairly forgiving

As requested:

I love that picture so much. Joyous.

Right right sorry. 😳
