That all looks like attempting to fix a problem that doesn't really exist any more.

It doesn't exist anymore because of these regulations.

Not my words, the words of senior police officers throughout the country.

Didn’t they establish a scotch egg was a substantial meal during CovId?

They do a cheese ploughman's (I think) one that I've seen the board thing that goes behind the packets before (fairly recently, like last 12 months maybe) but never the actual cheesy item. Which is a shame, because I bloody love cheese, but probably for the best. I'm my imagination they're the most delicious crisp available, made all the more tempting as I can't have them. If ever I tasted them, I'd 100% certain be disappointed.

I've had a theory for a long time that cheap crisps are in every way superior to expensive crisps. Spicy tomato flavour Snaps, also made by Smith's - dirt cheap and easily the best tasting crisp of all - being the case in point.

Isn’t that just for Scotland? Our buses don’t tend to do pub stops, only coaches.
Our buses never get there two hours early either.
