If I could post pictures, I'd love to show you my half eaten Asda mince pie next to the picture on the box.
i had an asda steak n wine pie the other day and couldnt eat it.. pastry was crap and the so called steak and wine filling was a black mess. not even mince. it was a pack of 2 as well.. into the bucket.:doh:
Damn, I didn't think to try the box, and it's in the bin now. I did finish the mince pie, but with a scowl on my face. Will go back to Waitrose's Heston pies like last year. They were pretty good, if a bit weird tasting.
Which is worse: the "awful truth", or the lies, mendacity and obfuscation offered by politicians?
I don't advocate lying, and as was said earlier in the thread many politicians, scientists, religious leaders etc all pedal either lies or their version of the truth because in reality most people don't really want truth unless it pleases them to hear it.
The title of this album always amused me...

It is possible that many people only want to hear something beautiful, true or otherwise.
The full effect of 'Operation Mincemeat' is not known for sure, but Sicily was liberated more quickly than anticipated, as troops were sent to Greece and Sardinia instead of Sicily, and losses were thus lower than predicted. It was of course a lie, but probably saved thousands of lives.
