    Back in the sixties I used to love the plain crisps that came with a twisted bit of blue paper containing the salt. They started doing them again a few years ago, but somehow they weren't the same. Maybe the crisps recipe had changed somehow.

    Probably using foreign potatoes. That will all change with Brexit.

    That's a shame, I was looking forward to Brexit-flavour crisps. Walkers have tried just about everything else.

    Lamb and Mint Sauce. Why do they only ever do them for a limited time? And what happened to Double Chocolate Twix? No-one under 35 even remembers them. (I did a poll at work).

    French Mister Men.

    Yes there is such a thing. Here is 'Mr Bagarreur' which loosely translates as 'Mr Likes-A-Punch-Up'



    Disturbingly there is no British equivalent.

    Don't get me started on Texan bars... (where did I park my DeLorean?)
