The CHRISTMAS Thread

Did you not read my whole sausage-y post!?!?

And actually, it's gravy flavour more than your classic roast chicken rebadging.

Bear clearly has both of us on ignore!

Further to seeing a fully lit & decorated tree 2 weeks ago, just seen a house fully decorated & covered in lights.

Mrs LJ had a busy day then?

Ooh it’s a new flavour profile with a couple of slightly different drops of flavouring and a shiny package to draw people in to parting with money. Most specials are a load of marketing bollocks.

As for bovril flavour. In the bin. Buy a pack of twiglets instead.

Bring back lamb and mint crisps

What an excellent way to empty extra coins from the wallet for a pack of fucking crisps. Only a complete mug would even consider it.

Today we had the first day of this year selling Strong Point at a Christmas Market, with Christmas music playing, tree and decorations up, the whole works. Didn't feel right. On the plus side we had probably our best single day of trading we've had. So, Yay Christmas in October...

I dont miss having to put a Christmas tree up in August/September to drive Christmas bookings in the pubs. If I had a pound for every person who said "that's early" I'd be retired by now

When I worked for Beefeater nearly thirty years ago the “ask me about booking for Christmas” badges were broken out on August Bank holiday weekend. Every year I managed to lose mine within about a day. Strange that.

If it wasn't those, it'd be Co-Op Salt and Vinegar, so nothing lost really. But thanks for your fiscal advice

Co op to M&S? They have you reeled In GOOD

 

[Kenny]

You are just glad they don't do a Big Book on Crisp eating....

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wish they would over here. The crisps are fucking shit.

Tyrells are available in Oz...

Lays are probably the best of the macro stuff.

Aren't Lays just Walkers rebranded ?

Walker's were acquired by Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo.

Full disclosure, it was a colleague who bought the M&S snacks into work.

Walkers have brought out their range including a Christmas pudding flavour crisp. Bought a multi pack in aldi just as Mrs jelly wouldn't forgive me if I didn't.
