English Custom

“Custom, then, is the great guide of human life,” wrote Scottish philosopher David Hume. In effect, knowing the custom of a country is a guide to understanding the soul of that country and its people.

Custom of a country also covers their way of socializing. It is not similar to other countries because there are specific conditions that makes it different from others.

The English often say “How do you do?” or Pleased to meet you” when meeting for the first time. People usually shake hands when first introduced or when greeting and parting in business and other formal situations. Otherwise many English people will simply say “Hello” when they see each other. Among friends, women are often kissed (by men and women) lightly on one cheek. The use of first names is widespread; title such as “Mr.” and “Mrs.” Are being used less frequently, even when children address adults.

It is customary to respect people’s privacy by telephoning before visiting. When invited to a meal by friends, guests often bring a bottle of wine or another small gift.

Winston Churchill

Despite all the activity Churchill’s daily routine changed little during these years. He awoke about 7:30 a.m. and remained in bed for a substantial breakfast and reading of mail and all the national newspapers. For the next couple of hours, still in bed, he worked, dictating to his secretaries.

At 11:00 a.m., he arose, bathed, and perhaps took a walk around the garden, and took a weak whisky and soda to his study.

At 1:00 p.m. he joined guests and family for a three-course lunch. Clementine drank claret, Winston champagne, preferable Pol Roger served at a spesific temperature, port brandy and cigars. When lunch ended, about 3:30 p.m. he returned to his study to work on his estate, or played cards or backgammon with Clementine.

At 5:00 p.m., after another weak whisky and soda, he went to be for an hour and a half. He said this siesta, a habit gained in Cuba, allowed him to work 1 ½ days in every 24 hours. At 6:30 p.m. he awoke, bathed again, and dressed for dinner at 8:00 p.m.

Dinner was the focal-point and higlight of Churchill’s day. Table talk, dominated by Churchill, was as important as the meal. Sometimes, depending on the company, drinks and cigars extended the event well past midnight. The guests retired, Churchill returned to his study for another hour or so of work.

How to Use Stone Mortar and Pestle

If you want to grind ingredients with the stone mortar and pestle, first, ingredients are peeled as necessary and sometimes chopped or sliced into small pieces so they would be easier to grind. The pestleis used with a backward and forward motions across the mortar until the ingredients are blended together into a smooth paste.

The order that needs to be followed when grinding spice paste ingredients is the hard items first altough at most times people like to grind garlic and shallots first. The hard items are dried spices, nuts and tough fibrous rhizomes such as galangal, lemon grass. When all of these ingredients are fine, add softer rhizomes, such as turmeric, ginger and fresh soaked dried chilies. Once all of these are quite smooth, then add ingredients that are full of moisture, such as shallots and garlic. Finally, you add shrimp paste and tamarind juice or any other kind of juices and process to max well.

Television Reporter

The main role of a TV reporter is to present the news in a digestible format to the viewers. In the morning I am given a story to cover by my news editor. I research the topic and then set up the interviews. I’ll then go out with a cameramman to film the material that’s needed to compile the report. When that’s done, we both come back to the office and I’ll write a script. The cameraman will then edit the piece with me for the main Anglia News programme at six o’clock. I may also have to present the report as a part of a live broadcast on location.

Firstly, no two days are ever the same. One day you could be reporting on a murder trial, the next you could be filming the Queen. Secondly, if you’re noisy, then being a TV reporter will suit you. It’s interesting to be privy to things before the general public, and then to be the first one to tell them. Lastly, you’re on TV. It’s great.

For me, the worst thing is having to do “door knocks”. This cloud be when someone has died in an accident or has been murdered, and the reporter is sent to knock on relatives’ doors to get an interview. I think it’s the worst part of the job.

You have to be fairly thick-skinned and be able to react quickly to breaking stories. If you have a good grounding in journalis, you can’t go wrong. It’s also important to look smart on screen.

My first taste of broadcasting was at University. I became involved in the student radio station and decided I liked it so much, I’d try and get a job in the industry. I applied for a postgraduate NCTJ (National Council for the Training of Journalists) course at the London College of Printing. (There are quite a few College and Universities across the country which run similar courses). I was lucky enough to get a place and spent a year in London getting a grounding in broadcast journalis. The course was very much geared to radio journalis, althought there was some television tuition. In my holidays I spent a lot of my time working for free for various radio stations, both BBC and commercial. This definitely paid off-BBC Radio Leeds offered me a contract when I finished my postgraduate course. I spent three months there, and then moved to Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio. I moved to Meridian Television, based in Newbury, in 2000 as a production journalist. Then I landed a TV reporter’s job at Anglia Television in Cambridge, and haven’t looked back since.
