Melt a big fat knob of butter in a saucepan
Stir in two heaped tablespoons of cornflour until you get a roux ( a mix of fat and flour).

Pour in a pint of milk and heat slowly whilst stirring to prevent it getting lumpy.

Make sure you dissolve all the roux by using a sauce whisk if necessary.

Piece of piss.

I think that's where I've been going wrong.
I always fail to add a piece of frozen piss.

It's ridiculous, I simply cannot stop it from going lumpy.

Lower heat, more stirring
invest in a sauce whisk like this: www.goodcookshop.com/froogle.do?id=979
Keep trying, it's really not hard.

Also get a thick-bottomed saucepan to spread the heat out better
Even heat = no hotspots = fewer lumps to start with.
