Heston Blumenthal had no reason to be so pleasant. I once described him as looking like a "Thunderbird puppet on the vinegar-strokes", but he didn't hold it against me. Or anything else, come to think of it. So, here it is - another Landcroft House exclusive!Hello Heston
"Hello."
Tell us, where would you take your family for a lovely lunch in London?
"Um... I'd take them for dim sum at The Royal China Club on Baker St. It is a brilliant place, fantastic food and dim sum is such great fun to eat..."
Great! Thanks...
"No problem..."
Bye!
"Bye."

So, there you go. I actually want to eat there right now...

What in the name of God is a vinegar stroke? I am (once again) so out of touch!
Ha! You don't want to know, DM...
A quick search of the online edition of Mr. Melly's excellent tome reveals;
vinegar strokes n.
Of males on the job, the final climactic stages of intercourse or masturbation. As in: "Would you believe it? The phone rang just as I was getting onto the vinegar strokes". From the similar facial expression associated with sipping vinegar.
Sorry.
DM - You don't want to know, it's very unpleasant. Thank you Matt for the explanation. Sorry you say? And so you should be.
