Hey JD,

WE GOT HOBNOBS!!!!

Read it and weep!

(Thanks Kevin)

 

[Clare Newsome]

Indeed Kevin, you are a star - and the mix of savoury and sweet was spot-on. Mmmmm, Twiglets

 

[John Duncan]

Oh is that all. I always have Hob Nobs. It was the twiglets I was after (Worcester Sauce please).

[Andrew Everard]

Mmmmmm Wooostercestershire Sauce Twiglets....

 

[SouthaK]

No problem. Sorry I couldn't track down any Worcester Sauce Twiglets but I hope the Chili flavour peanuts are a suitable substitute for those after a particularly manly snackage.

K.

 

[Andrew Everard]

Sssssh don't spoil the wind-up. We had JD going for a moment there...

 

[Clare Newsome]

Indeed. The peanuts-on-a-hanger was a particular blast-from-the-past from my days as a teenage barmaid. Though KP seem to have removed the pictures of comely ladeez from the cardboard backing sometime in the intervening years

 

[Andrew Everard]

Now, anyone works for a brewery and wants some advice on their system...?

 

[SouthaK]

That's political correctness for you I'm afraid, although in a slightly tongue-in-cheek move the carded KP Pork Scratchings have a rather saucy picture of a particularly curvy pig in pink stockings on the card!! Nice!

Regarding your days as a teenage barmaid if anyone makes any comments I fear this thread could go wayyyyyyyyyy off topic! I guess we all had to start somewhere...I bet most of your contributors careers started, somehow or other, in a pub!

You read my mind - finger hovering over the delete button right now

 

[SouthaK]

Great minds... ;-)

That does it, am off to another site..............

Actually, if anybody's in the Teddington Arms tonight, I'll buy the Twiglets.........

ooo isn't that clever, when you type a v f o r u m s, it says 'another site'.

Well, it is another site. Allegedly...

I'm on that other site too (same name)!

I must say as I was driving to your offices I was wondering which of the plethora of lovely 'traditional' pubs within walking distance of WHFS&V towers might attract the haymarket in-crowd. I guessed all of them!!

 

[John Duncan]

They have twiglets

Nah, Andrew's fussy, nothing good enough for him. Ever since they moved offices and the Adelaide wasn't in walking distance.........

I know they say you can't judge a book by it's cover but his picture says to me 'pint of bishops finger, packet of pork scratchings, and anyone who wants to watch sport can go to a "bar"' !!! Is that too harsh!?

Actually, given that I drive into work every day, I tend not to visit any of the local pubs. The Adelaide? Don't think I've been there or the Queen Dowager for getting on for 10 years...

 

[John Duncan]

not even a swift in the anglers?

Shudder!

 

[John Duncan]

See what I mean, SouthaK?

Wrong on almost all counts. Very occasional pint of Adnams Broadside, or an Asahi Black in the right places - most of which are about 6500 miles east of here -, hold the scratchings and anyone who wants to watch sport can go and stand in a stadium for all I care.
