Some of my friends take the mik out of me as I am probably one of the most gullible people around, for instance your talking to the person who believed my father in law Cyril when he told me that when he was in the Falklands he had soldiers who spent most of the day picking up penguins off the runway as they were so fascinated in the planes they fell backwards watching them take off and couldn't get up again.................I know
I believed him for months, seriously
On our way to Caernarfon the other day Mash told me that Felinhely was named so because that's where the helicopter was invented and yes for the next couple of miles I actually believed him.
So when a friend told me the other day that Margaret Thatcher invented Mr Whippy Ice cream I was having none of it. Typically that nugget of useless information turns out to be true, well nearly. Margaret Thatcher was employed as an Industrial Chemist in the 1940s. It was while working with a research team they discovered that by doubling the air in ice cream using a special kind of anti freeze the process "whipped" the air in enabling manufactures to save on costs using less ingredients. So I suppose she did invent Mr Whippy Ice cream
