Depends where you live, but look elsewhere.

Pizza companies should be amongst the most profitable companies in the world, their margins must be staggering. OK probably no one ever buys at the headline price but even the half price cost is outrageous. I still buy them occasionally but always through gritted teeth hating myself for helping them get away with it.

Rugeley Villa Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Don’t get many noses in Ruge. There is one who’s in the pub with his missus, though . Don’t know whether to do either of the DHUTWU, or just drop the nut on the simple clearing in the woods Edited October 13, 2018 by Rugeley Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Who decided which foods go in to the various meals we eat, like did it just evolve with time, through trial and error. Just had a full english; bacon, egg, sausage, tomato, black pudding, beans, hash brown, toast. But why those ingredients? Why dont i have black pudding with other meals, why hash brown and not jacket potato? Had gammon at the pub the other day and was offered pineapple and/or egg with it. But why? And why is that the same option everywhere in the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps similarly, the full english was a marketing device by some abattoir somewhere and disgusting perverts jumped on the bandwagon with a big push for pineapple on an otherwise savoury meal?

I know this one for some reason... it was part of a campaign to get consumers to use tinned products, which they were generally sceptical of. The pineapple was loved but tins weren't so they introduced recipe cards for things made with pineapple, Ham and Pineapple being one of the first as no-one could afford fresh pineapple, so they bought the tins and that's how canned products began to take off at the start of the 20th Century 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, for reasons I don’t know I was sceptical about them but they’re much more comfortable. Have to give a tip of the hat to @Stevo985 for suggesting river island jeans previously. Bought a pair of slim fit dylan jeans and they’re the best fitting pair I’ve had in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in River Island earlier and saw those jeans but had already purchased 2 pairs from Burtons (stretch straight). From now on I will only wear denim with spandex in them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think the key with River Island is they have about a hundred different "fits", all with weird names. **** knows what they all mean but you're almost guaranteed to find one that fits you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
