    Marmalade is different to Jam because it has a bitter tang, afforded by the citrus fruits generally used in its ingredients, commonly oranges, limes, lemons and grapefruit... and contains chunks of fruit or rind.

    Jam is sweet with no bitter tang and no chunks of fruit.. If you produced a sweet orange preserve with no bitter tang, which was smooth..It would be orange Jam.

    A preserve sits between the two, and is really like a sweet marmalade..i.e. with chunks of fruit.

    Fruit Jelly is wrong on all counts.

    What bike should I buy? I've got between £10 and £10,000? And what about saddles and bars and shorts and stuff? Is Rapha really worth the money or should I buy Aldi? And Oakleys, should I get vented lenes? What about tyres? I want something that's puncture proof, but really light and fast, but also in white that doesn't turn cream after a few rides? OMG, compact, standard or triple? 12-27 or 11-23? Shave or wax? And how far, just my legs or right up to my armpits?

    Or should I stop worrying and just go for a ride with what I've got?
