Us countries mainly responsible for colonising (the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, France, Germany and Belgium) have a lot to answer for. We go and fight each over there in the colonies for the right to do what we want - fvck the locals, take their stuff, give them our flag, teach them how to talk proper and then we scarper. :thumbup:

Think of it like that and a few boats of scared evacuees doesn't sound too bad.

1. I like a Greggs sausage roll
2. Not a fan of ANY sauce on a sausage roll.
3. If it's got sauce it needs a plate, sausage rolls are not an indoor food.

The addition of red sugar sauce on bacon baps is probably to counter the excessive saltiness of cheap bacon. Dunno about sossie rolls.

I do like a bacon roll or sarnie but there are only a few places I know that use decent bacon and rolls and I'm definitely not a fan on most examples of smoked bacon - some of it seems more like smokey bacon flavouring and it pongs chemically when cooking it. Our butcher does dry cured bacon and I'll make bacon butties with it and definitely NOT going to hide the flavour with sauce....although I have been pondering about a smear of mayo on the bread. :think:

Had to make economies and the butler had to go, now it's just the general factotum, the maid and the groom. :(

I pretty much have chili sauce on everything, drives the missus mad.

The only exception is bacon sandwiches, and scrambled eggs, when I'm highly likely to have brown sauce.

I only buy dry cured bacon as the white stuff that emits from other bacons is a bit :sick: For mayo, go Polish! This stuff is lovely and that's from someone who never bothered with Mayo before. :thumbup:

Morleys - the finest south London fried chicken emporium to exist. Would have preferred them to collaborate with Crucial Sauce Company rather than Heinz.

It's not as smooth as you might expect. Still delicious.

Just listened to a clip of Wes Streeting talking about the NHS, or rather the state of it. Performance measures, zero pay rise for failing managers....

It got me musing about how the country would be if we, the public, could establish a government not based on party politics, but on the competency and ability to get things done for the betterment of the country, how would that be achieved and made to work?

No, not communism, if that's what springs to mind.

I've never voted Labour or liberal democrats, but there are a couple of the new government that I'm growing to respect. Conversely, there's a bunch of Tories that absolutely should not be in opposition.

What say you, my learned RTTL colleagues?
