HOW?
Just how heaped is it possible to heap a 'Heaped tablespoon'?
Well,whilst messing about in the kitchen today,I conducted a series of experiments with some interesting results:
Bottom of the league is humble table salt,which barely stacked up higher than 'level'.
Sugar was a little more impressive-with a little perseverance,a good one inch stack is possible, albeit with much spillage.
Bisto makes it into the Premier League with a superb two inch stack-good stability,little spillage.
Baking powder(BP)produced a remarkable 3 inch stack,but was made cumbersome by the narrow circumference of the lid.
But the overall winner was good old Plain flour-with careful handling and an absence of incredulous spouse shouting "Just What the Frig are you doing?"-it was possible to deliver a full 5 inch 'Tower Of Pride'-remarkable.
Presumably however the sea breezes are increasing the spillage factor by a degree of plus or minus 18%.I'm confident that a seven inch mound could easliy be attained in say, Bromsgrove,the calmness of the area resulting in far less spillage,lossage,slitherage,runnioffage and crawlage,though possibly an exactly equal amount of aimlesstimewasteage.
