BRADFIELD PARISH ARCHIVES/FAMILY HISTORY CENTRE
The archives continue to open every Thursday between
9.00 a.m. and 4.30 p.m., for research.
The majority of our old archives are now available to research
on-line and can be viewed on www.bradfieldarchives.co.uk.
We are now well under way with cataloguing these documents which
should now make researching family names and locations easier when
reading the documents.
By the time this newsletter is read we will have
completed our programme for 2010.
I am in the process of putting together our
programme of events for 2011 which will start
with the Annual General Meeting on Monday 7th March
and also include a speaker.

Our Own Xmas Pudding Recipe�
1 In a large bowl, mix together all the 'dry' ingredients (excl. the eggs and stout).�2 Add the beaten eggs and stout and mix thoroughly to form an even mixture.�3 Pour the mixture into the 3 pint bowl and level.�4 Cover with the greaseproof paper. This is best secured with elastic bands.�5� Place the full bowl centrally on the linen square then tie the opposite corners to-�
gether on top of the bowl. This will form a 'handle' to use to pick up the bowl.�
6 Steam the pudding in a large pan for 10 hours (see cooks tips below).�7 Once steamed, allow to cool, remove the linen and the greaseproof paper and�8 place in an airtight container until Christmas day.�9 On Christmas day, recover with new greaseproof paper and then the linen.�10 Steam for a further 4 - 6 hours before serving.�
Steaming�: Find a large pan more than big enough to completely hold the 3 pint bowl. If�possible place a steaming tray or some small crockery bowls at the bottom of the pan�(face upwards) then fill the pan ¼ full with water. Drop in the pudding to check the water level is�not too high. Bring the water to the boil, lower in the pudding, cover with a lid and simmer on a�low heat for the 10 hours.�
REMEMBER to check the water level every so often to ensure the pan does not boil dry.�
Linen square�: An old pillowcase can be cut up for this. The square needs to be big�enough to tie across the top of the bowl. Ensure this is properly tied as this will be used�to lift the bowl in and out of the pan.�

FEMALE AND LOGICAL? A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine: “House” for instance, is feminine: “la casa”, “pencil”, however, is masculine or feminine “el lapiz”. A student asked “What gender is „computer‟? Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether “computer” should be a masculine or feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men‟s group decided that “computer” should definitely be of the feminine gender (“la comptadora”) because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for
possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your pay on accessories for it.
The women‟s group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine (“el computador”) because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can‟t think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they
ARE the problem, and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you have waited a
little longer, you could have had a better model.
THE WOMEN WON

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said “Now, Class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.”
“Yes” the class said. “Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position and the blood doesn‟t run into my feet?”
A little fellow shouted, “Cause your feet ain‟t empty”.
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a
large pile of apples. The nun made a note and posted it on the apple tray:
“Take only ONE, God is watching.” Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the
table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note,
“Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”
During a visit to an EMI unit, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalised. “Well”, said the Director, “We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub”. “Oh, I understand” said the visitor. “A normal person would use the bucket because it‟s bigger than the teaspoon or the teacup.” “No” said the Director. “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a room with or without a view?”

These are all perfect rectangles, but the lines seem to bend because of their position. The first time this illusion was
spotted was on the outside wall of a café in Bristol. The wall was covered with black and white square tiles, showing the same result as seen here. This is also called
a Muensterberg figure.
EVER WONDER … Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can‟t put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don‟t you ever see the headline “Psychic Wins Lottery”?
Why is “abbreviated” such a long word?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavour, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the person who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn‟t there mouse-flavoured cat food?
Why didn‟t Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Gentle hills and sparkling stream, This village has them all A lake that‟s full of Pike and Bream, And a lovely village hall
You can go into the Pennine hills And walk up Jacob‟s ladder, But there‟s nowhere whose beauty thrills As the village known as „Bradder‟
Bathed in sun or white with snow, Of Bradfield I‟ll never tire. The nicest place of all I know From South to Northern Shire
