Bradshaw Whinge:

I remember 25 years ago when I was a kid (yeah!).

My mum used to make me rice pudding.

It had a thick brown skin on the top - ugh!

One day when she wasn't looking, I scooped the brown gunge off

the top and stuffed it down the back of heating radiator.

She noticed that I had "eaten" a lot of the stuff quite soon and said.

 "I see that you are enjoying me pudding, then?"

 I smiled benignly and said.

 "I'll think you'll find that.....

The roof of the pudding is in the heating".
