Even if they're shit, consumers ignore what their tastebuds are telling them as they have to be good, otherwise the company wouldn't have become big in the first place. To this day you still see people in frankie & Bennys who are over the age of ten, hard to believe I know but it's true.
Same with practicality. What would we want proper insulation in houses for? What would that achieve except making people warmer and happier? Ridiculous.
LOL...my relatives' house in the midlands is perpetually cold, occasionally they will briefly turn up the heat up in winter to "take the edge off". the effects are traumatic: my English wife makes up for years of childhood suffering by cranking our heat from October to April and setting the air conditioners on high from May to September.
wtf is up with you people? just the opposite of most Americans, who's only desire is to lounge in the lap of luxury and comfort whether they can afford to do so or not.
In a cafe the other day, when I asked for butter to lubricate the bone-dry croissant I had just been served, the waiter looked at me with something approaching incomprehension.
i wonder what those kids are doing now? they would be 30 oddBobby's chipsticks are nicer than the OG chipsticks!
I went to a night at the Star & Garter (Manc indie / weird / biker dive in the rankest prozzy-ville) organized by some 16 year old Stockport kids called "Music For Paedophiles" (and YES it caused outrage in the local papers) and they had covered the walls with BOBBYS boxes and wrappers + a signed letter from the manager of Bobby's thanking them for their interest in BOBBYS CORNSNAX! THESE KIDS WERE GENIUSES!
Good rantHouses should be cold in winter. So should offices. I'm sitting here with my summer desk fan blowing into my face to stay awake, while co-workers ponce around in short sleeves - all because the central heating's cranked up to Sahara Desert levels. What do people think fucking jumpers are for? Of course, it's the same contemptible crybabies who run for the thermostat the moment their fingers go a bit blue who then lecture us all on flying. Here's my carbon footprint - on your energy-wasting arse!
Re: crisps - anyone know if you can get these in London?
