    Back when I used to eat canned tuna, my favourite sandwich was tuna mayo with salt and vinegar crisps. I still haven't found a good substitute for that.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    You just can't please some folk

    Hmm..

    Oh dear!

    My remark about the BBC and potatoes was meant as a joke.
    Like the "horseshoe" meme I posted, because the BBC news had a hand in causing the panic over petrol.
    You obviously have no natural sense of humour.

    I don't understand why people eat crisps.  Seriously unhealthy, not very tasty and then all those horrid packets that probably can't/won't be recycled.
    I explained why my wife likes to use the roughage of a few crisps to help her many tablets go down.
    Good enough reason for you?

    I always recommend a lump of banana to help tablets go down.  For kids, put it in a spoon of jam. For cats , insert in a piece of raw liver.  My favourite as a kid was crisps in  with a ham sandwich (not on the side)

    I laugh when things are funny. As yet you've offered nothing which meets that criterion.
    Your hysterical golf joke was as dull as the game itself and the overwhelming majority of those who play it.

    Although I don’t like crisps, I do find that a slice of hot buttered toast and a cup of tea make pills go down a treat.

    Thanks for that, but that'd be a lot of toast, as she has to take these painkillers every three hours.
    She's tried everything. There's very few crisps in a packet and she doesn't eat them all.
    The only other thing that helps are the two Amaretti biscuits I give her  when I make cappuccinos mid morning, but, "I ain't gonna make them all day."

    Quite,
    You've just confirmed what I said, you've no sense of humour, you must be a really sad person, from what I've read of your many posts on here.

    Get a life.

    I'd rather eat my own flesh than play golf. 
    The prospect of being surrounded by those crushingly dull folk in their awful uniforms ? No thanks
