So there I was, just about to tuck into a hangover breakfast. Bacon sarnies. Not complete without some tomato ketchup methinks.

Into the cupboard, a quick shake and then......what the heck?

THEY NOW SELL KETCHUP IN RED BOTTLES.


How absurd, I'd run out, and I had no idea I'd run out


Is this the worst marketing ploy in the world...?

you piss your customers off and they have no idea when they need to buy more unless of course all prospective customers are expected to shake the contents of their tin cupboard prior to visiting the supermarket. So they don't buy more. They just buy 30 packs of KitKats and 12 packs of coke instead.

Thus they miss out on sales, putting themselves (the marketing directors) at financial risk, missing budgets and potentially losing thier jobs


and all for the sake of a red bottle.


I give up.

Tighty - bacon sarnies with ketchup? you are having a giraffe - HP sauce - No substitutes!!!!! ;tk; ;tk;

The BBC have an opening in "Grumpy Old Men" go for it

 ;iagree; Putting tomato ketchup on bacon sarnies is clearly the habit of someone who eats too many kit kats.

have to agree with the brown sauce thing!!but ketchup in a red bottle how stupid is that??

heads should roll down at heinz!!

I put ketchup on egg sandwiches , HP on sausage and Branston Original on bacon , i dont know why i answered this post but suddenly i'm hungry !

ACES

Fried egg sandwiches just has to be salad cream!!! :D

You're all mad!

Brown sauce is evil!

any bloke who uses ketchup on fried food when brown sauce is available should be ashamed.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was "Ketchup on a bacon sandwich?".

I see that it's been well covered already though...

tightend i thought you liked good food then i find out your having a laugh , no decent food lover would put ketchup on bacon its HP all the way buddy

ps dont worry about the red bottle get the clear plastic bottle instead you can tell the differnence as the clear bottle has a clear gap inbetween the top and the sauce

You cant fool the Scots, eh?

One Bacon sandwich with Red sauce, one with brown.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Quorn bacon sandwichs with brown sauce, mayonaise and pepper mixed in. Tasty.....very , very tasty...yumm

Dear Tighty,

Rule #17 of "kitchen cupboard inventory for beginners" clearly states that thou should keep a spare bottle of ketchup in there at all times!!   

( or maybe that's what the cunning new packaging is trying to encourage you to do? ;) )

Works for me and I also apply same rule to salad cream and peanut butter!! 

crunchy !!!! i hope


this goes well with bacon and HP

Has to be smooth

Has to be smooth for me I'm afraid Ironside, so that it spreads further and I use less!

I like crunchy but don't like the way I can use up half the jar just by sticking my knife in there once.    ;D

oh it has to be crunch although it costs more the crunch of the nuts along with the crunch of the bacon is an eadible orgasum

Doesn't everyone just steal the sachets from pubs like me?

We're not all on the short, bus.

( americans will geddit ).

Just like to say peanut butter is horrible! Dont have tomato sauce often but can you not tell when its empty the last time it is used?

dont be so stupid thats too obvious

The rules are

Bacon Roll - red sauce
Square sausage - brown sauce
Eggs - never red sauce - salt & pepper only
French toast - never red sauce - sugar
Hot water or milk in coffee first - water - coffee doesn't 'scald' and adding the milk first fails to dissolve the coffee properly

Failure to adhere to any of these rules may result in explusion from the Communist party.  :D

You have been warned  ;tk;

Nonsense! The Queen is a M-I-F (Milk-In-First), & if it's good enough for Her Queen-Ness, it's good enough for me.

OMG, I had to read this twice. I am so glad you didn't write what I thought you had, this is a family forum after all

She'd be hard to turn down in her younger days. On them old stamps and coins she looks well hot.

true, but in her younger days she was too young to be classed as 'milk in first'

Gatso & Bus off to the tower with you  :D ;tk; ;goodvevil;

The law is an ass. we get done for treason merely for admiring the beauty of our sovereign while you get away with putting salad cream on fried eggs

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

From the correct colours for condiment containers to mating with monarchs. Ain't blonde great.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

Why wasnt the ketchup in the fridge?

Brown sauce on bacon for God's sake Tighty.

I fort u wuz edukated?

Lets get a few things straight

I dislike HP, brown sauce etc. They are not an option.

I knew i was out of ketchup but of course forgot before going to supermarket. I am a bloke. I do not make shopping lists. Shopping lists are for those with routines and well ordered lives

My life is as well ordered as the contents of John Prescott's underpants

Ketcup does not belong in the fridge. Its in thew cupboard above the fridge. Next to the family pack of kitkats, the three year old tin of sweet and sour sauce and the cup a soups.

I hate marmite. That is to be the subject of another post


Now then, please stop arguing with me. It's pointless

Am i alone on the fridge issue?

yes.

Marmite is wonderful.

No, once opened it should be kept in the fridge.

yay

And another thing... Brown sauce, vile stuff! Ketchup for bacon sarnies  :D

Yesterday I found half a bottle of ketchup in my fridge. I have no idea how it got there as I hate the stuff and have never in my life bought any.
It is now in the bin which IMO is where all ketchup should be kept.

Can you send it to Tighty? He's run out....

Ginger, darling (Flushie go away please) surely these days with the sealed bottles used for such condiments the need to keep Ketchup in the fridge is outdated?

I am glad you are a Ketchup on bacon sarnies girl but IMHO it needs to beat ambient temperature not chilled as this conflicts with the taste of the bacon.

I still want you to eulogise about Marmite.

What about Salad Cream, do you put that in the fridge after opening?


Marmite is lovely...

Mayonnaise, I would as it is eggs.. but salad cream is posh wallpaper paste .. it will be fine.

No personally as long as salad cream is in sealed bottle then ambient is fine

I can also understand fridgement.


Kethcup though..Ambeint all the way. It's hardly likely to go off is it?


Marmite is the PhillHellmuth of foodstuffs. You either love it or hate it

Personally I hate it

Good question

I've just checked in my fridge and found a bottle of salad cream I'd forgotten about tucked away at the back. Now, reading the label it appears you should refrigerate after opening and then consume within 1 month. Is this just a suggestion or are they serious? It looks fine to me but I don't really want to eat it if it's poisonous

whereas my HP sauce just says store in a cool place and use by nov 2007

it will only give you dodgy stomach anything, nothing serious :)

My marmite addiction is not my fault. I was exposed as a child and it changed my dna structure, so now I need it.

KFC does the same thing, every 3 months, I HAVE to have a KFC.  

Gatso.. live a little, they only say that so you buy more.

Eaat the salad cream you jessie


a) you won't need to go to supermarket

b) what is the NHS there for but to treat food poisoning in such instances


You pay your taxes, you get to look at nurses...EAT IT!

Just dont ring NHS Direct FFS.

They nearly killed me last time I rang em.

I used to like this place but now 3 of you in the last 3 minutes  have tried to persuade me to eat poisoned food. I'm off to buy some fags, at least I know they won't go out of date and kill me

My last phone call with NHS direct, a Sunday afternoon 5pm


" I have an eight year old who has just trod in a wasps nest. He has 30 stings"

"Oh that sounds nasty"

"Yes, I have applied anti histamine cream but there are a lot of stings, he is feeling faint. Should I take him to casualty?"

"Hold on" Cue Music. Wham: Club Tropicana

two minutes later

"Find a chemist and buy this anti histamine"

"I have already done that and there are no chemists open here at 5pm on a Sunday"

"Oh"

"Casualty?"

"Well why not!"



thanks!!!!

aah should have just gone to casulty

i'd be dead if i got stung 30 times :(
once is enough to do it

NHS Direct

They got Hammersmith hospital to pump me full of Heparin (anti coagullant) and kept me in hosp. for 3 days over a ripped calf muscle.

The calf muscle couldn't clot so it bled into my leg for a week.

Result:

4 weeks on crutches
6 weeks of physio
8 weeks off work
