General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

When I was a kid, an old bloke who lived near my Grandad had a pet eel which he kept in his bath. He had had it for years and he had been on the local news with it. He would let the kids come in and see it and it had virtually gone white, taking on the same shade as the enamel bath. I have often thought of this now and wonder what would happen today if an old bloke came out and said, "Oi kids, wanna have a look at me white eel?!"There would be a vigilante group outside of his house! I still remember the old chaps name was Priestley and he was George Formbys uncle. Nice old bloke. My Grandad would eat snig regular and would make me eat em when I was a kid. When I am in London, the cockneys knock me sick when they eat jellied eels, mash and something called liquer which is basically the stuff that comes off the eel when it is cooking and which they pour over the mash.
