    My mum used it all the time when I was growing up. Her chips were fantastic. My dad used to take dripping sandwiches to work on Mondays which was, for the young'uns on here, basically lard and meat juices from the sunday roast.

    Not until my late 40s and after because increasingly frequent arthritic attacks have stopped me exercising properly.

    I use solid vegetable oil, which is a healthy alternative to cook roast potatos/yorkshire puddings etc. looks like lard.
    can't bear fat or oils on any food.

    I'm lucky in that so far mine is acute rather than chronic so I get respite from it but just as I get back into running I get another bout which restricts me for a week or two and i'm back to square one.

    Hence I'm now a bit of a fat git!

    I've not. To be honest I try to stay as far away from any form of medic as possible unless things get too painful.

    sorry to hear that mate - hopefully it won't stop you playing. My ankle is in bits and sometimes I struggle to get around after playing so maybe I should get along to the quack - something I really must say I do not enjoy.
