Agency.

That’s some misjudgement he no where near the door looks like he just gone strait for the wall

Oh… So we’re now classed as ‘hapless’ for a change and not drunk in charge, or… :unamused:

Daily Fail looking for new terminology for HGV drivers…?

Hapless means unlucky/unfortunate. I would say it is an apt description.

You don’t blanche spuds.

Not even the biggest hopeless case is capable of that by mistake. Possibly a medical emergency, if so I hope they are okay.

In the comments section, someone claims to ahve been first on scene and that the driver had a stroke.

But the Daily Mail comments section is known for attracting many types of nutter, so I’d take that comment with a pinch of salt, until confirmed by a reliable source.

Hence the use of the word ‘claim’!

It’s what I heard and was why the fire brigade had to get him out of the cab.

You may not, people who know how to cook do.

You should stick to posting memes… every time you use words, you make yourself look even more of a ■■■■ than your memes do… and that is hard to believe.

Blanching spuds is when you peel them and place them in water. Its an age old thing to do, stops them going brown once theyve been cut/peeled…

Incorrect, this is not blanching. Blanching is a process of pre or part cooking, it is done with many foods including potatoes.

Potatoes specifically can be blanched prior to frying or roasting or even part boiled. You can also blanche potatoes in oil or fat, this gives them a crispy texture.

You’ll never buy a frozen chip that hasn’t been blanched.

The best way to prevent potatoes oxidising after they have been peeled is to submerge them in cold water, with a decent splash of white vinegar mixed in.

A squirt of lemon juice, is better, its also what’s added to prepack fruits to stop them browning.
