we are civilised folk in Surrey , we wouldn't do anything so uncouth 

No pineapple on pizza, but perfectly happy to glue yourselves to the M25.

Had to divert through Ripley today. That’s a posh little ghetto.

Shortbread.  I frippin love that stuff.

I hardly ever eat them because 

1) I’m a diet nazi.

2) They’re not commonly available in Norway. 

But they’re effing delicious.

I used to meet up with a woman in Egham, in Surrey. One day, coming back from there, the motorways down there were in their usual car park mode so I journeyed from there to about Bicester just on country roads, before getting on the M40. Some absolutely stunning villages through Surrey, Berkshire and Bucks.

Yeah, me too.  My body is a temple.  Unfortunately it looks like this temple

That's a long way to go for a prozzie isn't it?

Surprised you didn’t have to show your passport to get in 

those clearings in the woods glueing themselves to the motorway probably live on Daddy’s trust fund and come from Ripley

I was right at the front, so I adopted a relaxed approach to the whole thing.

I had a flask of coffee and some homemade apple cake. So I sat there listening to some music, watching them being peeled off the junction and marched past to the police van.

Whenever one went by, I waved my cake in solidarity. I mean, at the end of the day they’re right. Think how much energy we could not burn if we invested in insulation and low energy tech instead of Chinese Nuclear Tech and a train to get to London 14 minutes quicker, and drones that can kill a wedding party from 5 miles away and prototype parcel delivery submarines.

So yeah, I waved my cake at them. We grew the apples in that cake, and I was driving a hybrid. So I felt I had a sandal in both camps.

Pineapple on Pizza is for me a lot like mid 00's emo music, once I stopped being too pretentious to admit I liked it I started having a lot more fun

Can't see myself ever going into a pizza joint and ordering a pizza with pineapple specifically but I wouldn't turn away in disgust if I was hungry at a house party and that was all that was left.  I don't really get why people are soo disgusted by it.

There really is only one way you should eat cheese and pineapple

At my old company we used to have the office briefing after work and the ancient man Friday used to always provide snacks being plates of crisps and cocktail sticks with cheese and mini pickled onion and cheese and pineapple everytime.

From what I’ve seen, whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza is a very popular “prompt” comment used by women on dating apps (as a conversational ice breaker). 

FWIW it’s about equal those in favour compared to those against.

And judging from the occasional comment from women who have put “I don’t care whether you like pineapple on pizza”, it would suggest men are also very vocal on the subject.

Then that wasn't 'after work'. 

A point which was thrown back at them but it was an owner manager who did as he pleased. 

I think they did change it in the end actually after I'd left.
