    £1.80 but worth it. Not worth the saturated fats or cholesterol levels though

    Yes - An oppo who I travelled out with was approaching Passport Control in Jeddah when he went white as a sheet and whispered "Tulip!! I think I've bought the wrong passport!!!!........"
    Fortunately (for him) he was wrong and he did have the right one.......

    Approached to smell of bacon wafting down the corridor. Mmmm. Lovely hot bacon roll, and only 80p!!! Will be spending a lot more time in the office over the next couple of weeks. May not be as bad as I feared....
    Lucky sod. Here in Holland all the big companies are using Sodexho, Eurest or Albron with their bloody condescending ‘healthy choice’ selections, including half fat yoghurt, fruit salads, muesli bars etc. Basically, not enough calories or protein for someone who keeps themselves fit.

    I f**king hate being told what to eat by overweight bureaucrats who think they know what's good for me. I can make my own choices, thankyou.

    Good job for me that there’s an Italian restaurant nextdoor.
