    I had a little skidmark
    he was long and brown
    he had a sledge lodged in his ead
    it seemed to make him frown

    yeah we had that in Liverpool. but it was 'queenie gobbler'
    not betty botter

    Queenie gobbler bought some butter,
    "But," she said, "this butter's bitter;
    If it runs into my minnie,
    It will make my batter bitter;
    But a bit of fanny batter,
    Better than the bitter butter
    Will this better butter make my fanny batter better."
    So she bought a bit of better butter,
    Better than the bitter butter,
    and made her fanny batter better.

    You seem to be confusing supermarket "premium brands" with good quality meat.
    It's always puzzled me why , when you tell someone that you really like something, they come back and tell you that you dont.
    then they give you ten good reasons why you dont
    and all ten reasons are something to do with bigging themselves up in some way.

    look. i enjoyed my bacon
    mrs EO had coffee and bacon butts in bed, she enjoyed the ******* bacon

    i got a free slice and I was happy all ******* day

    it was, alll in ******* all, ok.

    ok?

    My local butcher; which is situated across the main road from the large Tesco; has flitches of different bacons that people like, they slice it then and there for you to the requested quantity and thickness and it's only about 10% more expensive. I also buy sausage (they make their own to multiple recipes) and eggs from them (50p/dozen cheaper than Tesco).
    I buy the majority of my meat from them as it's good service, the prices fair and they know what they're selling as most of it is grown, slaughtered and cured locally. They're pretty busy too.
    Is that in Leeds?

    Stek if you have spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, and eggs, without the eggs but with spam then it's not spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, and eggs, it's spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, and spam which is a completely different meal!

    Doesn't matter where you have it, its all complete crud.
    Which isn't surprising once you find out how it's made over there:
