Making me smile (and cry surprisingly) was watching my boys perform in The Tempest at their leaver's assembly at primary school. It was very emotional and I'm never like that about my kids. The performance was brilliant!

[lima eel]

S4B, that made me smile, that story is making me smile today

[S4B]

I'm glad. It isn't often I get soppy so make the most of it.

Making me smile is Comedy Dave's determined dislike of Kettle Chips.
What's wrong with Kettle Chips?

What's wrong with Kettle Chips?

I didn't hear that particular part of the show this morning, but I could start you off with the fact that they are 'crisps', not 'chips'.. if you're going to sell to the UK market, try using English dialect as opposed to American dialect to do it.

As well as that, they seem to be overpriced and targeted at snobs and whoever heard of crisps for snobs?! It's a ridiculous concept.

[TIAL]

Nothing wrong with trying to target another section of the potential market. And I wouldn't say they were 'targeted at snobs', just people who like more natural looking/tasting foods.

[MK Chris]

Well, fair enough.. but calling them 'chips' is annoying.

[TIAL]

I do agree with you on that!

Chips are chips, and crisps are crisps.

[Yudster]

Problem, is, Kettle Chips are the best crisps you can buy. Fairfields are also very good, as are Burkes, but they aren't so easily available (although I get Fairfields when I can as the farm and factory where they are grown and made is only three miles from me). But of the easily available brands, Kettle Chips are brilliant. And I know they're crisps - but I don't have a problem buying a crisp thats called Chip on the packet. Not when they're that good.

[DevilsDuck]

yeah, they chould call them crispettes!

that sounds posher!

[TIAL]

The only thing is, I assume 'Kettle Chips' is probably a brand name - I'd imagine changing that brand name for the UK market just to please a few British pedants would be an expensive and time-consuming hassle.

[MK Chris]

The best crisps are Walkers Sensations, Pringles and McCoys. There used to be a nice brand called Brannigans, but I'm not sure they're around any more.

[TIAL]

The best crisps are [...] Pringles

If we're getting specific about things...

[Yudster]

Walkers Sensations are rubbish. Too salty, and all the flavours taste the same - full of additives and msg. I don't like Pringles and McCoys because they are mashed potato made into shapes - I like my crisps to be actual slices of potato!

[MK Chris]

Walkers Sensations are rubbish. Too salty, and all the flavours taste the same - full of additives and msg.

I don't care what they're full of, I like them. Actually, I don't like the sweet chilli flavour, but the lamb and mint one, in particular, is exquisite.

* sake! How many times do you need to disagree with me topher!!

Kettle chips > Walkers Sensations!

And by a *ing mile!

[Yudster]

Several * miles truth be told.

And by a *ing mile!

Well that just confirms I'm right.

[Yudster]

I think I've only ever seen those in ancient packs going yellow on the shelves of shops in Spain or Greece!

[TIAL]

God knows where she gets them from, I haven't seen them anywhere else but her kitchen.

[lima eel]

well, if you can find out i would be very grateful

[TIAL]

It may be Lidl.

[lima eel]

ok, a stop in lidl's it is
