How else would you eat it? Pepper and vinegar and some bread and butter...nice! However I agree with your general sentiment.
As for you not being a football fan, I'll be getting back to you on that one in a few weeks, when I start my annual recruitment drive!

I'm afraid I'll probably be voting the other way. Sport as a whole doesn't really interest me although I'm quite partial to an afternoon's cricket when I can find the time.
The flags and bunting are up at Rishton Towers today though, cheering on our brave boys!

Re: Lancashire County Council Flag Ban
Our residents lounge is decked out with flags, we have a new wide screen tv and the beers are cooling in the fridges ready for kick off. What more could you want?

I bet you can, what is this silly cow going to do? Sack the lot of you or shut up and take a bit of sick leave until it dies down?
My bet is a stress therapy touch of a week off, (if England last that long),
Then, when she comes back, bring her yearly, 'Investors in people', review to an earlier date and explain how to her, a happy staff is a happy staff, YOUR SACKED!

Re: Lancashire County Council Flag Ban
'Dinner ladies who patrol school playgrounds and dining rooms have been told they will no longer get a free school lunch or school holiday pay.'
'Carol Mills, director of human resources at County Hall, said: "As part of the equal pay review, new terms and conditions will be introduced for all our staff.'
No more dinners for dinner ladies - News - lep.co.uk
I bet she's a hoot at parties.

I see her more in Lytham St. Annes, since she's Blackpool born, chatting over the fence, with your friend Karen Buckley.

Whilst I agree that it does sound mean - it could possibly save another job from being axed. Budgets are being cut in councils up and down the country and the free stuff has to be paid for somewhere along the line.

I agree. That policy decision probably won't have been her's.
Although you do build a mental picture up of Ms. Mills.
'You are no longer able to eat that left over cabbage ladies, and you can take those bleedin' flags off the dinner trolley'.
The decision about not being able to display flags, is down to her.
(Good job you're not out canvassing at the moment, by the way.)

We had a bit of a debate about he issue. Myself disagreeing with you.
Didn't really want to ignite old arguments. Just thought you'd get my gentle reminder.
