Drives me insane. I have the opposite issue. Right by our office I have to make a right. I'm always positioned at the apex of the white lines but the road is not wide enough fortwo vehicles. Absolutely sick of knobheads mounting the pavement to turn left before me. They shouldn't be there and their presence and actions are a clear and present danger to me, others and themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same with some mince pies, except their use by date is November. So I’ve eaten them all now instead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Definitely the right thread for this, but I dislike mince pies. I wish I liked them as they are everywhere at Christmas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like mince pies but I'm the same with christmas cake/christmas pudding I guess I'll eat them in a kind of "It's tradition so I'll get a slice down me" sort of way. But neither is nice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post It's Your Round Posted October 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2022 When asked by me if they like mince pies, one of my colleagues once said “No, I can’t eat them, I don’t eat red meat!” Followed by genuine shock that a 38 year old woman had always believed it was minced beef inside. I’m happy that people don’t like them, more for me then 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradually the fruit content increased as fruit became more commonplace and people wanted to show off how decadent they were till eventually the meat was pushed out altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 i've got a cookie factory story on mince pies, we had a downturn at the factory in November / December and someone there found out that M&S had rejected truckloads of mince pies from their supplier, basically if any of the juice broke the crust they got rejected by M&S quality control, we bought them, literally truckloads, I'm not sure how many thousands but it was a **** lot! we set up the production line and had the guys cut the top off with a knife, stick a blob of squirty cream in there (kw) then put the top back on at a fancy angle and then sold them to BHS as a luxury item, 2 shifts a day for a month...and they couldn't keep up, we had too many mince pies, i could have taken a box home a day (maybe 40-60 pies in each box) i was selling them at the farm shop my brother was working at, i ate so many i exhausted it, a thousand of them probably came my way, there were so many that we didnt actually finish them so they were "scrap" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they're not even the team that deals with our Christmas planning/promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
