Chezza had a message off David Cormack earlier today, complaining that there haven’t been nearly enough threads about the life and times of Chezza lately and consequently traffic to TRF has fallen off the edge of a cliff, sending the home page chatGPT authors into a tailspin.
Ever keen to oblige Chezza’s second-favourite Scottish hero (runner up to Greyfriars Bobby) Chezza has come up with the following.
Jam.
Not “The Jam.”
Just Jam.
Chezza’s current favourite jams are an Italian cherry and a Spanish blood orange, both available at Waitrose.
Chezza can’t get enough of either.
What jam do YOU like?
Let’s hear about the sort of dated northern corner shop muck Neil buys, the Scottish hard man jams few have ever heard of that BigG and HDLG prefer, the middle-class hippy conserve of choice from Moehat, the reliably-sophisticated CAS option, the progressive civilised west country Richard choice and the cider-infused madness Nathan advocates before finally alighting upon the unbelievably pretentious conserve from some corner of Europe even most people in said country have never heard of that Gladders devours in between making continental cheese omelettes and refusing to share the love with them.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Whilst Paul Weller pondered over breakfast a name for his band his sister said we have Bread, we have Marmalade why not Jam. The rest is history.
The more I know the less I understand.
As an unashamedly middle class child of unashamedly middle class parents, I was raised on Tiptree jam which is based in Essex but widely available.
I am also partial to the wares of French ‘confiture’ behemoth Bonne Maman and in a rare example of frivolous money wasting, not to mention a bizarre coincidence, ordered their advent calendar this very day.
I’ve always been a bit boring with my flavours but I am trying to branch out a bit from strawberry and raspberry.
Predictably tremendous from Richard.
Bonne Maman is a winning brand generally – and my local Waitrose is invariably replete with their produce – and as for “Tiptree jam which is based in Essex” I made this discovery myself while once driving down the interminable A12, a veritable “Road To Hell.”

‘Old Times’ Marmalade along with the Queen of strawberry jams ‘Little Scarlet’.Tiptree Jam Factory also found further fame when being used as a set for a Midsomer Murders episode ‘Sauce For The Goose’ made in 2005 where a lot of the staff were used as extras.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Lewis & Cooper of Northallerton – the best grocers in the whole wide world – sell a huge range of Tiptree products including such oddities as Medlar Jelly, Mulberry Jelly and Quince Conserve, which are distinctive and pleasant enough but will never replace their Tawny Orange Marmalade and Damson Jam, which have been staples for many a year
Marmite on toast followed by a Tiptree on toast washed down with a pint mug of Ceylon Dimbula from Northern Tea Merchants of Chesterfield: best meal of the day
Never heard of Rum Marmalade, Graham, sounds scrumptious. Quite fancy “Rum” and Raisin favoured Ice Cream at the seaside.
Drone personally I hate Marmite, but my brother loves it especially on toast so each to his own.

Lately I’ve a soft spot for Lemon Curd, but nothing beats best butter especially on
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
