Those sandwich factories don't half get through some bread. One of the smaller ones I deliver to in Worksop gets up to two artic loads per day. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........

Indeed, but they still like to get a nice long shelf life ont he stuff they sell. The ultimate recycling seems to be when the sandwich filling is made from chopped up shite with mayo.

I got bored one afternoon trying to explain to people that Dolmio and Ragu were not "italian" and they aren't even sold in Italy because the Italians would laugh. It's a neat trick though, make flour and water paste, add red colouring and vinegar, market as pasta sauce.
