She also has a pink Hetty hoover and although its as good as it's red brother, it does look a bit ghey. I have now launched my pathetic cordless dyson on to the local tip and and am happy to say Henry is now my hoover of choice. Yeah it sucked up your 'carpet' Had my Henry for 13 years. Its a solid bit of kit! Edited April 1, 2021 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting multipacks of crisps is a bit shit when you don't really like Salt and Vinegar. The most overrated crisp flavour of all time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roast Chicken are lovely, but there's no way they're the "4th" flavour of crisp like the OP suggested. I think they're quite rare to be honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) What is this heresy? Cheese and onion is easily the weakest of the original triumvirate. Although I do find Walkers version the best cheese and onion. My ideal multipack of Walkers would be salt and vinegar, pickled onion and worcestershire sauce. I must have a liking for strong flavours. Edited April 2, 2021 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Talking of Walkers Crisps, they make all kinds of one off special flavours now, but the first new flavours from them I remember as a kid, that deviated from the norm were the following Cheese (yellow packet) Sausage (light brown) Tomato ketchup (dak red packet) Anyone remember those? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer when de family bring loads over from the republic in the red and blue bags. I doubt there's any difference in taste but years ago i convinced myself there was and that's probably a boring thing to admit to in itself ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't agree with any of you; the weakest of the originals is 'ready salted', a crisp flavour *that isn't a flavour*. 4 hours ago, Xela said: Talking of Walkers Crisps, they make all kinds of one off special flavours now, but the first new flavours from them I remember as a kid, that deviated from the norm were the following Cheese (yellow packet) Sausage (light brown) Tomato ketchup (dak red packet) Anyone remember those?

sidcow Posted April 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) As a child Salt'n'Vinegar was the undisputed king of crisps. But for most of my adult life Prawn Cocktail and Worcester Sauce flavours have been my main favourites, though Worcester Sauce are.....hard to source. But in more recent years it's seemingly moved to Cheese and Onion. We are obviously talking about standard Walkers flavours here. Kiddies crisps like Snaps are the best full stop. Ready Salted are pointless and fully deserve a place in The Boring Thread. They are the choice of crisp for when you are tired of life.

Every tradesman in the UK will have a Henry for that tough after work vaccing up. However I have heard that they have reduced the power of the newer ones so they are not as good at the really heavy duty hoovering as they used to be.

a m ole Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Salt or salt and vinegar are the only nice crisps with one or two exceptions. Vague brown dust that burns the tastebuds all at once is not ‘roast beef and honey parsnip’ flavour or whatever they pass it off as. The few exceptions are cool Doritos being ok, twiglets and tomato monster munch. ’cheese’ ‘flavour’ anything is **** vile Edited April 2, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
