I certainly endorse it.
if so I'll prob end up at my bezzer and her gf's new house drinking beer in the garden and eating whatever they care to feed me...or beans on toast and crisps when I get back..otherwise I'll have a freezer rummage later 
I used to make them all the time. It's an all day effort.
