Things I wish I knew

Currently consuming a lovely cheese and ham sandwich, totally ruined by being smothered in pickled onion chutney.

If I desired the taste of bloody pickled onions, I would have bought a jar of bloody pickled onions.

Why when you buy a simple sandwich do the makers insist on putting mayo/pickle/sauce etc etc  with the main filling?

A little sachet on the side would be far better, then the consumer can decide if they want pickle (or whatever) in their cheese sarnie.

I am SO with you on that one.

I just reread this entire thread.

I'm quite proud of it, there's some good stuff in it.

I can't buy 90% of sandwiches in a shop because they have some kind of sauce (usually mayo) on it that I don't like.

So so annoying.

Why do so many sandwich-makers not put any butter/spread on the bread? Well, I know why they do, the skinflints, I suppose the question is why they are allowed to get away with it.

You can't enjoy a sandwich with dry bread imo. I always ask for some butter/Flora if they try this on in a restaurant, but you're stuffed when they stiff you this way in a supermarket.

I don't recall them doing this years ago, but it seems to have become very common in recent years.

They also put the filling towards the front of the sandwich, that way they can't put less in, but it's looks full.

Why do footballers take off their shirt as a goal celebration when they know that a booking is automatic?

Because they are self obsessed egotists?

So obvious when you put it so simply 

[George2Loose]

Why is it a booking anyway?

Why do late trains take longer and often take longer routes when the tracks should be nice and clear to go the fastest way and put their foot down?

I believe it is because of the commercial pressures. Joe Bloggs and Co has spent £200bn to have its logo front and centre on Robin van Suarez's shirt when all the cameras are on him celebrating his wonder goal. They want him wearing the shirt so the logo is obviously on display for all to see.

Wet, slippery tracks, windy conditions, poor visibility, danger of fallen trees and debris, heavier train with lots of miserable people squeezed onto it...

It's a mystery.
