Hands OFF me breakfast!!! ……unless you’re ready to take it outside of course …and YES I mean it !!! ( says she ducking, weaving and shadow punching boxer style )
Bloody great big overstuffed mighty Tesco saying you won’t stock Marmite OR Hellmans …or ANY Unilever product ….apparantly it’s due to them raising the wholesale price due to the fall in the pound since Brexit….hmmmm yes well I reckon you can stand it Mr T ….your millions in profit …and if you won’t ?
Here’s my message to Unilever ….BUGGER THE BIG FOUR SUPERMARKETS ….this household hasn’t shopped in them for years ANYWAY …they got too greedy and were full of gimmicks and poorly disguised rip offs sometimes known as bogof’s ( buy one get one free et al)……No we packed in shopping in those places LONG ago ….it’s aldi for us ….no just sell direct on Amazon or something
I love my grub and am SICK of my favorites going to wrack and ruin ….the Cadbury’s Creme Egg anyone??? ….hmmmm yes ….do you remember THAT one??? ….sold off to some multinational who has changed the recipe ….shrunk the size …and doesn’t even sell in the 1/2 dozen, preferring packs of four …they’re eggs …EGGS ARE SOLD IN THE 1/2 or FULL DOZEN!!! …..GOOD GRIEF!!!!
And YES the SAME company bought the Terry’s chocolate orange and changed the recipe of THAT!!! ….Christmas ruined!!!
Where’s it all going to end say I
My GOD!!! ….don’t you DARE touch me Lea&Perrins!!!
and who owns Lyles Golden Syrup these days? ….or Birds custard? they’ve ALREADY faffed about with its packaging …tub over tin….what about me treacle pud?
Its not just about the ‘label’ …we’re talking quality product here ..it’s an aesthetic thing too …good solid recycleable packaging …you know …glass jars , tins, foil and paper wrappings….its not good ….NOT GOOD say I !!!!
ps) Just thought ….Aldi’s German …BUGGAR!!!:D:D:D
Blog On!!! 
Someone at work had a Topic the other day and I thought, Christ, I haven’t had a Topic for decades. You never see them in the shops. And the old Creme Eggs were too big to get in your mouth in one go.Not so, the new ones. Still, at least they found a cure for rickets.

Ha haa yes …’Topic …a hazelnut in every bite ….I remember!’
and you’re quite right …..no more rickets AND at least you can shove a whole creme egg in your mouth in one go now:D:D:D
AND I understand there has been a compromise reached between Tesco & Unilever ….so my breakfast is saved …HURRAH!!!

I tried to open a Kit Kat yesterday by sliding my fingernail down the wrapper. It wouldn’t budge. It was like trying to tear one of those new fivers.

You might have second thoughts about Hellmans when you consider it’s owned by Monsanto

Monsanto owns most of the companies that produce the products named in your blog. The list of household brands they own can be found on the Internet.
