How about Armstrong & Miller for the 2 solicitors, slogging it out with jokes about their clients & Babs ?

Ooh, now I've got their sublime Naked Vets sketch in my head. Perhaps they could do Naked Solicitors. Lots of scope for jokes about briefs. (I do know the difference between solicitors and barristers but would be prepared to forsake accuracy for comedy in this instance).

The opportunities are endless for combinations of 'vegetables' and 'briefs' fnarr fnarr

@Nottodaythankyou123 thanks, so what would be the ramifications for lying?

Indeed. Armstrong and Miller used strategically placed teapots and phones to mask their manhoods as they moved naked around the set. I'm seeing aubergines and parsnips deployed in similar fashion. Maybe a sprout.

Surely you mean marrows and pumpkins? 😂😂

Have you ever tried this with one baking pan? Can you cut the cake as one would with most regular sponge cakes or is the batter too heavy to properly lift?

thanks in advance!! 😍😍

I think 28 days is a bit generous, but I suppose it's better than nothing.
Babs will likely not kick up a fuss once she receives a formal solicitor's letter and realises you're serious.

Nude Practice, you mean!

I guess if you couldn’t resolve it between you, you’d be looking to sue the seller (not their sols) for misrepresentation as they’ve lied on the forms.

I hope you are right and that is what happens.

Still think the seller should face consequences, and even perhaps their solicitor.

Well spotted.

I’d say make three times as much, just to be on the safe side!

I’ve only ever gone with two - the batter has boiling water in it which feels very wrong but comes out amazingly moist

Agree. Stella the Seller shouldn't get away with it!

Warning on the form re accuracy of representations:

whats the story in Jackanory wouldn't you like to know?
whats the story in Jackanory tell us so we will know
Jackanory

here comes YaMuvva to tell us a story but how does it all begin?
with a cf neighbour camped out in her garden but will old Barb win?

Jackanory

Boiling water blooms the cocoa and makes the flavor more intense.

I agree with the PP that said you should start offering your choc cake around the other allotment owners.

Who knew?

me. In the US, baking mixes have high altitude instructions as well as "normal" instructions and often recipes do as well.

Yes! Get that compensation, for both the allotment and the garage. That'll teach her to be a sneaky cow.

She should pay for your legal fees, the difference in valuation had the estate agents known it was not vacant possession, and for your distress at getting off to a bad start with two neighbours, as if moving house isn't stressful enough.

Is the musical going to end with Babs, the seller and the nasty garage man all strung up on the allotment, singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life?

I'd rather they were in the background & silent, while OP & her DH sing it as they sit in their deck chairs on their productive allotment, with birds & butterflies fluttering around them. There may be a rainbow in the sky. The sun is definitely shining brightly.

Camera pulls back to show neighbours on their allotments singing through chocolate-cakey lips before bursting into a spontaneous dance.

I think the solicitor would be more David Tennant/Michael Sheenish

Doctor Who David Tennant or Crowley the Demon David Tennant?
