Time taken 2-2½ hours, depending on cut used (scrag will take longer than cutlets). Prepare ingredients before starting the recipe.

GARETH PERKINS(26/07/72 -20/10/24)
Dr Gareth Perkins was well known as a recitalist, having performed at most of the cathedrals in the UK. He held fellowships of all three of the major examination boards in the UK, the first person to do so, and held this record for several years. He gave his final recital in 2012 when his neurological condition and arthritic hamds made playing too difficult. His first church post was at Berry Pomeroy Church at the age of eleven. He had suffered a lifelong neurological condition but became a brilliant musician despite this, and overcome many obstacles that were put in his path of life.
Gareth was a keen and at times cynical observer. Here is his summary of reasons people give for not attending evening choir rehearsal:

And then there's the very best choir story yet:
THE CHOIR PARTY
Him: “Most of the choir won’t be at the rehearsal next Friday.”
Me: “Why not?”
Him: “The wife and I have organised a choir party at our place that evening, and most of the choir is coming.”
Me: “Why did you organise it on Friday evening?”
Him: “That’s the only evening we knew everybody would be free, as it’s choir practice night, so they’d all be available.”
Me: “But they’re not free! It’s choir practice night, as you’ve observed.”
Him: “Well, most of them have confirmed that they’re coming to the party, but a few have said they’ll go to the rehearsal instead of the party. Don’t worry - we’ll all be there on Sunday to support you.”
Me: And unrehearsed for the morning service, and for Evensong. F******g h*ll.”
Him: “It’ll be a good party. You’d be welcome too if you want to cancel the rehearsal. There won’t be many there after all.”
