Not all it’s cracked up to be
They have a lot of different foodstuffs inside Waitrose. More variety than most supermarkets, anyway. Looking for haggis out of season? Need gooseberry fool? Want to be able to select from every item in that range by the Prince of Wales? Look no further than your local Waitrose.
Well, not quite, actually. I was in there the other day, buying that chocolate made by that man in the Channel 4 documentary, and decided to see if I could pick up anything else from my shopping list. But did they have any swan burgers? No. Nor did they have pickled peacock eggs or angelfish fingers. I searched in vain for breaded polar bear, and was frankly staggered by the lack of fresh coelacanth on offer.
Thank god for Fortnum and Mason, that’s all I can say.
The internet encourages free speach but your piece is a waste of time for you and the few who are unfortunate enough to read it!
Ridiculous

The internet does indeed encourage freedom of speech, but that doesn’t mean you have to exercise it on my website. I’ve published your comment because it amuses me: if my posts are a waste of time and effort, then why did you even bother reading – never mind commenting?
*edit*
P.S. – anyone who’s friends with a real, dead serious teasmade collector is no friend of mine. Yes, that’s right, I keep detailed site stats.

A single lark’s foreskin in plum sauce, nestling on a bed of toasted elm shavings and garnished with fried shit? I luv cookery programmes I do.
George Bradley eh? I weep for the sort of person who collects WatersHots (you make the tea yourself – I remember it well). Sex Offenders’ Register candidate, at a guess.
