Might try bringing some Tinned spaghetti hoops back next time I'm over - that would get the locals talking...
As to the price over here I've just realised i bought them at "Esselunga" (which means the long S) - it's part of Berlusconi's assets so I'm sure the profits have been put to a good use!

Berlusconi probably doesn't eat Heinz beans - he is a well known "blanket-lifter" though in another sense!

Remember that wonderful scene from "Blazing Saddles"

Strictly on the subject of Heinz baked beans, here are some words of wisdom I learnt at my grandad's knee:

Let the wind blow free
Where ever you be.
In church or chaple,
Let it rattle.

And:

A fart is a gust of wind that gives your belly ease.
It warms the bed in winter, and drives away the fleas.

My grandma's usual respose went something like: Don't be tellin t'lad stuff like that. He'll grow up to be a bad 'un. He'll be in t'boozer every neet.

Could never quite follow her logic, but I can't fault her prescience

seeing as we've moved into the realms of prose, a little ditty we'd caterwaul lustily (as sing wouldn't do our raucous efforts justice)

Beans, beans are good for your heart !
Beans, beans make you fart !
The more you fart, the better you feel !
So eat baked beans every meal !

I didn't say it was good, big or clever, but by 'eck !

By the way, we can buy the product in Canada. Just checked out a can I have in my cupboard. The sticker price is 79 cents. Was it Heinz that made the curried beans, and the curried beans with sultanas

Think I'll have baked beans on toast as a little snack tonite, washed down with a bottle of Bomber of course.

Theres another well used expression.
An empty house is better than a bad tenant.

Yes Retlaw, I've heard that one too....and we used to say that 'the tenant banged all the doors on the way out'........then we'd be told not to be so crude.
