Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

It's time that this long-standing issue was resolved as I have never been comfortable with Purple being used as Worcestershire sauce. I would have suggested a formal review and open debate on the subject, with Orange being my proposal for the bag colour - in line with Lea & Perrins colours. Unfortunately this would conflict with the Capsicum derived flavours such as Paprika and Chilli, so either different shades of Orange would be necessary or an alternative colour.

A tribute to our dutch crisps no doubt. I know your game.

I also quite like a spring onion crisp from time to time. Morrisons stock these lovely oniony ones in the Eastern European section:

I was also quite partial to Tayto / Golden Wonder's Sweet Onion Bikers. While no match for the traditional Spicy Bikers, which are among the superior offerings in the category I still think of as "10p crisps", the Sweet Onion version was a pleasant alternative from time to time.

I will tolerate a lot from the French in this regard, as the below Wholegrain Mustard flavoured crisps, along with similar by other manufacturers, are a treat I indulge in every time I'm in the country.

That's a fantastically detailed and well-argued bit of crisp correspondence but I'm happy with purple for Worcester sauce flavours. Call me a synesthete, but when I see purple I taste Worcester Sauce crisps or Ribena.

Aye, on d-day, when the new fangled money came in, Tudor were 2p, and the more upmarket GW were 2 1/2p. I remember this with a weird backdrop of st. Columba's* underground tuck shop. f**k knows why- memory' s bloody weird sometimes.

*primary school in Kilmarnock.

I can remember those days, and baked bean flavour crisps as well.

My son is watching Fireman Sam and the amount of fires in Pontypandy is frankly suspicious.

I have always said, surely you would run norma price out of town. The amount of shite he starts in every episode. Pontypandy would be such a peaceful place if it wasn’t for him. Giving us gingers a bad name.
