I was going to post this in the official WOGG thread but it's been tainted beyond recovery..:furious:

Anyway, I was taken ill last Friday and have not been able to get out of bed since. My daughter kindly drove over from Bournemouth to bring me some sweetmeats and sing a soothing lullaby.

She also brought a packet of olives.

The are marked CRESPO Olives Du Marche and are pitted green with garlic and herbs, with quote "A true Mediterranean Flavour"

Very nice. However being bored I read the label further and on the reverse it says:

"Imported into New Zealand By XYZ Co in Aukland"
"Imported into Great Bitain by XYZ Co of Scunthorpe"
"Product of Morocco"

Hello, do they know that GB is only 1,641.2 miles away? These fucking olives have got more miles on them than my neighbour's XR3i!

Some one with a bent towards economics please tell me how that works.

 
Eggsackery. FUBAR Keith. The maniacs have been in charge of the asylum for the last four decades. I really hate to say this, but, we perhaps, should have let Adolf win?! That A-hole would never have let it get this bad!
 
Shopping in tesco recently, I perused the fresh vegetable aisle, below wonderfully colourful posters, supporting British farms.

Not a single item (out of several dozen) were from British farms!
