Some people seem to make it their life work to complain about everything possible.

Silly sods.

I don't remember anyone complaining about it. Maybe they did as I haven't seen them for a while.


 Do you guys get the ridiculous amount of complaints, fines and frivilous lawsuits that we do over here concerning things that would be overlooked if everyone would just mind their own business?

A little off-topic but I found this person's ramblings on Walkers square crisps rather amusing. ;)
http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/food/walkers-ready-salted-square/441156/

And what is there always lots of in my house? Crisps, loads of them, at least 20 packets of various varieties which at this present time includes Squares, Quavers and Wotsits, you may have noticed that there isn't a normal crisp shape in sight! I only ever buy them for my dips!.
But of course, the purpose of this review is Walkers Squares, yes squares? Who, in the name of God thought this would be a good idea?
"You, Jones, how can we make our crisps a little bit different?, not that potato shaped crisps that everybody else uses?"
"Well sir, how about making them long and thin?"
"You damned idiot, that's chips!"
"Yes sir, how about squares? Nobody else makes them square"
"Jones, you're a genius. Yes, squares, of course, this might just work............."

And that dear people is how I believe Square crisps were invented. This was, of course, in the era of Hedgehog crisps, which younger readers may not remember. Manufacturers did try to make us believe they did taste of real hedgehogs, unfortunately they then bought out Salt and Vinegar ones, and finally the public did realise there was no such thing as a salt and vinegar tasting hedgehog (not everyone I'm sure)


PS. For our US viewers crisps are what you lot call chips.

In the defence of Walkers square crisps, their advertising campaign did say "square crisps? Tis not normal!" ;D

Craig...will I be the first one one to change the heading from "differant" to "different"...?
Tee-Hee...!

I often zap various creatures on the road on my motor-bike.
I generally stop, recover them, and pop them into my roast pot, for dinner next day... ;)...!
...nothing wasted... ;D...!
LOL...!

Cheers all...!

Paul.....a zapped Pigeon makes a lovely casserole.. ;D...!
..and as for Hedgehog Stew...WOW... ;D...!

This was on the news last night. They interviewed a lady from the S.P.C.A.. She said that "these candies are promoting actually killing poor, defensive creatures.."















*sniff sniff*











..can you smell the bullsh!t?

Like little two-year-olds eating these candies will remember 15 years down the line, "hey, I remember eating candies when I was 2 shaped like dead raccoons! Let's see if I can get one!"...

 Well, if they own a car they will not actually have to "try" very hard, most small animals (and some big ones too) are quite handy at stepping out in front of moving vehicles and being turned into road pizza.

I'd expect that from PETA, but not the SPCA... why do I get the feeling this lady lives by herself with 30 cats? Get a life!! Since when does candy promote anything?

They banned sweet cigarettes over here some years ago. I used to like them when I was a kid & also pretended to smoke them from an early age. Made me feel all grown up. I smoke the real thing now. Been doing that since I was about 10. Not sure if those sweets had anything to do with it. Things were very different then & smoking was perfectly acceptable.
