Morning all, just thought I would share this with you as it made me smile

QI fact of the day

Until 1800, cookery was so dangerous that it was the second commonest cause of death among women after childbirth.
Murder is commoner among cooks than among members of any other profession. WH AUDEN

O/H - watch out!




 
"Too many cooks spoil the broth"

"Too many cooks spoil the broth by dying before they take it off the heat"...
 
Good advice both of you, thank you. X
