C J Jackson used to be with Leith's and she does (or did) the training courses at Billingsgate.
I know the courses are still extant but whether CJJ still does them I don't know.
I do have it on first-hand authority (pm me for detail if needed) that the courses are very good, they start with the market (very early a.m. !!) then you prepare and cook (and eat) ... I seem to remember that you're all done and dusted by 3pm.

.... and, of course, Billingsgate is only down by Canary Wharf, not too far from your manor.

Are you stalking me?

I can't recollect you ever having anything to contribute on the food thread before. Mind you, you've managed to contribute about 4/5ths of fook-all anyway, so at least you're keeping your average up
