Comptons Gravy Salt - 4 x 128gm

Product Information

Its length will be about 354 feet, fronting, as we have said, to the Oughtibridge road, and its width and height each about 40 feet. A vendor may place reserves on any lots however, if instructed to the contrary all lots will be sold without reserve or at the Auctioneers discretion. Lots failing to reach reserve prices may be sold after the sale at or above the reserves or by agreement with the vendor. If a lot fails to sell at the initial auction it will be subject to a 10 - 20% reduction in lower estimate or reserve on each subsequent entry. All items entered into 'General Sales' will be sold strictly without reserve.

The second terrace will be occupied by two ranges of quarters for infantry, a hospital and a spacious parade ground. There are, it seems, several factors that will ensure a light, airy scone that is scoffed at first sight. First of all, says Sue, it is vital to employ the lightest possible touch when rubbing in the butter, mixing in the milk and patting out the dough. Sue, in fact, never kneads her scone dough; instead simply patting it gently into submission. So, here is Sue's favoured recipe, snaffled from her latest book, Sue Lawrence's Book of Baking, published now by Headline:The third terrace will contain four ranges of quarters for cavalry, with stables, enclosing enclosing a parade ground. I. Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot, or lots, is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of descriptions. All items offered will be subject to the Auctioneers discretionary margin of 10% - 20% of the set reserve. Unreserved goods withdrawn prior to or awaiting sale will be valued by the Auctioneers at their absolute discretion as their estimate of auction value.

Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneers' premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary and water damage (but not accidental damage or breakage). The value of goods so covered shall be the gross amount realised or in the case of unsold lots, the best bid made or the reserve price when the latter has been fixed.Unsold goods will attract a lotting fee plus 1.5% insurance charge (based on reserve price or lower estimate), plus expenses where applicable. Goods withdrawn prior to sale but after cataloguing, valuation or repairs will attract a charge at the rate of 15% of the value based upon reserved prices or valuation provided by the Auctioneers (plus expenses where applicable), which shall be binding upon the Vendor. This will be levied in addition to the lotting fee and the insurance charge.Goods cannot be withdrawn within three working days of commencement of the sale without the agreement of the Auctioneers. The accommodation will be for 18 cavalry, and 19 infantry officers, and an equal number of servants. Any claim under any Statute must be received in writing by the auctioneer within ten days of the sale. In the centre is the principle gateway, and over it an oriel window. On each side are embattled towers.

The Auctioneers reserve the right to dispose of all unsaleable lots which they consider to be of negligible value (not under reserve) without reference to the Vendor and at the Vendors full expense including those which fail to comply with condition 5 herein. II. The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he/she has absolute discretion to settle it or re-offer the lot. The auctioneer may at his/her sole discretion determine the advances or bidding or refuse a bid The ground floor and the first floor are devoted to the use of the officers, and the top story to that of their servants. II. Acreman St. Antiques Auction Ltd do not accept any responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify and in such cases the auctioneers do so as agents for the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims

HOW MUCH ?? Gravy is prepared to your taste but we find a satisfactory gravy can be made with one heaped teaspoon per half litre ( a little more than a pint ). This means that it will use about 8g of Gravy Salt - so if your serving per person is three Tablespoonfuls - then your portion content will be about 0.28g of salt And this arrangement, which no private person in decent circumstances would bear, is considered a great improvement in the accommodation of military officers, many of whom are gentlemen of birth and fortune. But as Comrade Stalin sagely observed, quantity has a quality of its own – and that quality is one of impoverishment when money is spent one simply doesn’t have. The things I covet are old, beautiful and unique; rather than novel, well-designed and mass-produced. But even given the great devaluation of the past’s material culture that’s been yet another unforeseen sequel of neoliberalism, I cannot afford, say, a Gwen John painting to go with my 1910 Arts & Crafts house. They were intended as a temporary experiment; yet they have continued to be occupied till they have become almost ruinous. It is the addition to each officer's room of a dark closet, capable of holding a bed, so that officers will not be compelled actually to make the same room serve as sitting room and bedroom, but will have the privilege to sleep in closets, without windows, separated only by curtains from their sitting rooms!
