Silvio Tattiescone Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I hate ordering a steak pie in a pub and getting something that's 50% meat lumps of indeterminate origin and 50% mushrooms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what I expected them to do tbh given that you can't list every ingredient on a label, but it irked me that only the lettuce was omitted. 2) Shirley it should read 'cheese & tomato', not 'tomato & cheese'. Won't be back. I hate stealth cucumber. An absolutely disgusting ingredient which taints everything it touches. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be back. It’s also inconsistent with the concept of sandwiches like BLT’s. There the lettuce is advertised and the ingredients are in alphabetical order…maybe it should be a “cheese, ham, lettuce and tomato” sandwich? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 9 hours ago, Miguel Sanchez said: Before the sugar tax, orange Lucozade had about 50% of your daily recommended amount of sugar in it. This went down to ~16% after the tax came in. I didn't mind that new taste and I don't mind the new one either. It's still quite syrupy and tastes like an orange was involved somewhere in the manufacturing process, rather than just chemicals. When I was but a lad, Lucozade was a drink you bought in the chemist for when you were ill and couldn't eat, and was intentionally sweet. Nobody then would have ever thought of drinking it as a normal day to day drink. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Lucozade's advertising slogan was "Lucozade aids recovery" until the mid-80s. Not sure what happened then to make them rethink the branding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 ScotRail seem to pull train services at the hint of bad weather. A day if rain in the west of Scotland in October, nothing to Helensburgh and west or north of Perth already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucozade’s marketing of the brand from the late 90s onwards has been an exceptional success story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day if rain in the west of Scotland in October, nothing to Helensburgh and west or north of Perth already. A tad soggy at Bowling tbf. Dalmuir tunnels now flooded as well. (Same at Dalmarnock, so anyone planning on train to Celtic v Killie might want to check their plans). Month's worth of rain forecast in one day, but agree with the general point that it often doesn't take much to f**k our entire transport system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Our national infrastructure as a whole has got about as much resilience as a wet paper bag. Really don't see how that's going to be resolved - or even just kept at the same level of shite in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
