Yes, there have been cases of coronavirus at Walkers crisps. Is it now time for crisp wars? As I traveled abroad I have seen very few countries that have such a crisp lust as the UK. We each eat an average of 3.5 kg per year. Only Ireland eats more per capita in Europe.
But the most interesting difference I have seen is the range of flavours. Last time I was in Spain I found a shop that sold Prawn Cocktail, but I have not seen them in many other countries. I think I mentioned my trip to Kazakhstan, going for a walk in the city and finding a cafe that sold Russian tea and crisps. Not reading Russian I bought a packet, only to discover they were caviar flavoured. Never found them anywhere else.
I’m sure this outbreak will not stop Walkers producing, but I think I might start hoarding. That will leave me with toilet paper, hand sanitiser, Marmite and crisps. I need to stop – I can’t dig many more storage pits in my garden.
Quite interesting comedy tonight. I like the comedies that cover serious issues. Fletcher gave a monologue on Porridge about the old school tie benefits of our society. Did you know that Gordon Brown is the only prime minister in the last 80 years that didn’t attend Oxford university? Is it changing, well according to the Sutton Trust the Boris cabinet has twice as many private school buddies as the May cabinet.
