Sunday roasts belong to the time when everything was closed on Sunday (except the churches) all the family, and extended family or guests, all sat down at the table to eat at the same time. These days, with people off doing different things, children off to various sports events or clubs, it's less practical for many families. Shame, but life changes!

Yes, but not necessarily on a Sunday so I suppose it is a roast not a Sunday roast

Once upon a time when I was a youngster, and we are talking about late 50s, and 1960s, if you stuck your head outside the door at anytime from 12 onwards on a Sunday, there would be the smell of roast meats and gravy wafting over the neighbourhood - particularly in the summer when peoples doors and windows would be open. These days it is more likely to be the smell of barbecue coals.

As a kid mums budget was tight , we would have a starter of sliced suet pudding and gravy then the main dinner just to make the roast stretch between 6 , happy times , i still only go to the pub at 12 and leave at 2ish like i did with my dad , I do all the cooking and would have prepared and what im going to cook , and i have a hostess trolley so helps to keep all the food for the table hot

I'm not a gambling man, but I wouldn't mind betting that there are one or two of us on here who won't be having a roast this coming Sunday!
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |
