Oh what a pickle!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Apparently there is a shortage of Branston pickle due to a fire at the factory a few weeks ago. What am I going to put on my standard pie on Boxing Day? :cry:

Aha! Pam couldn't find any in Morrisons (ex Safeway) in Bramley last week though. A more thorough search encompassing all supermarkets in the vicinity would seem to be required.

Saw some in Sainsburys on London Road, Southend the other day, with a rather sad little note apologising for the shortage.

So, what's it worth ..... :evil:

It was on the radio in November, I remember. As we're descending on relatives this Crimbo, I thought I'd pass the buck. But if THEY haven't secured a supply, I'll throw a hissy fit for sure.
