BTW Noticed last week a packet of Walkers crisps in local shop was costing 52 pence ( standard packet ) wow! For us pre decimal screamers thats a whopping 10/6 Thats ten shillings and sixpence, remember the 10 bob note & the silver tanner.

Read that too - the real winners are the lawyers

And we as taxpayers suffer the costs of fighting such a stupid case

Guess the next thing will be for someone to sue a restaurant for serving an egg the wrong way up !!!

Crisps are also not crisps if they're soggy

Manufacturer Procter & Gamble (P&G) is likely to save millions of pounds as a result of the decision - with customers also likely to pay less.

pay less - or perhaps they will just make more profit..

I note that no one is saying that they are pre decimal peeps, are yoos that old and don't like to admit it, unlike me

Make yer own crisps - 50p for 3 million tonnes of them. Formula as follows:

1. Heat cooking oil to very hot.
2. Slice potatoes thinly. I use a potato peeler to slice wafer thin
3. Dunk slices in hot oil until crisp - hence 'crisp'
4. Dump cooked crisps on kitchen paper to soak excess oil up
5. Add salt to taste & eat

Crisps.... BAH never been the same since the little blue bag was removed, until a couple of years ago I spent hours taking the sodding things back to the shop and demanding they find out which member if their staff was thieving the blue bag, never got any satisfaction.
Carry on like this and the British Empire will go to the dogs!

All well and good this make your own crisps 50 pence for 3k tonnes.
But Canta has not added the price of the "blue bag"
50 pence isnt that ten bob in proper money?
