Managed to get it a bit more locally this time.........Pets At Home!!!" Actually, if they also did brawn as well I might give it a go.......

I was in the canteen of an NHS *Hospital* yesterday. Lady staff member in the queue in front of me bought an iced doughnut of a colour I am sure did not exist anywhere else on the planet, it was somewhere between Cochineal red and Tartrazine orange. I warned her she ought to wear sunglasses whilst she was eating it or it might damage her eyes. I OTOH had a corned beef sandwich on white bread, �1.20. It was salty as hell even for corned beef. >Makes me wonder who watches all the food programmes on the TV. I do. However, I abhorr the tendency nowadays to make petrol station sandwiches out of Brown/Granary type bread, presumably because it doesn't absorb moisture from the filling. They might as well go the whole hog and make them out of "Thinbrix" the decorative slices of facing bricks used to "build" fake chimney breasts. DG

Derek Geldard (dgg(a)miniac.demon.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : > I do.

I suspect it's because *everybody* knows that "brown bread's good for you"... > They might as well go the whole hog and make them out of "Thinbrix" > the decorative slices of facing bricks used to "build" fake chimney > breasts. They don't already? I refuse point blank to eat petrol station sandwiches, because I really don't see the point in eating something that tastes of *absolutely* nothing. |
