I just couldn't believe it.

what?

Quinnsworth.

Remember their yellow packs ??

?

If you don't remember yellow packs it won't mean anything to you .

I think there's a link missing here!

Oh ok sorry x

No link missing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it is too good for a link.

No problem Lacrimosa ??

No problem Lacrimosa ... even

I vaguely remember yellow packs (we were always more of a Superquinn family). What's the shocking news? I didn't think Quinnsworth even still existed, weren't they bought by Tesco?

yeah remember the yellow packs and.........

They were bought by Tesco, but do you remember Maurice Pratt ??

He used to make my skin crawl.

yes, remember Maurice, quite creepy, and?

Obviously not as dumb as he looked.

Maurice Pratt has been appointed the new non-executive chairman of Bank of Scotland (Ireland).

Mr Pratt, 50, is Chief Executive of C&C Group and the former Managing Director of Tesco Ireland.

He is also a Non-Executive Director of eircom and Uniphar.

Is he the one who was all wooden in the ads? Come one, spit it out, I'm losing interest now. Did he top himself by suffocation with the yellow packaging?

What about the yellow packs?! Sorry to sound thick here but I have no clue what this is about... do we have to go to Tesco/Quinnsworth to see what you mean?

I always presumed he was the office idiot.

I had to read it three times to be sure I wasn't seeing things.

I thought he was much older than that. He must have some good contacts to get that job. I don't find it terribly shocking though, is there more?

He used to advertise the yellow packs and he was atrocious at it.

Oh, is that it that he's the new chairman? Ohhh...

No sorry, obviously it is just me.

can't believe he's only 50, he must have been a child star

I lived in Ireland a bit after that ad campaign I think but my dh will find it funny!

I would have had him down for 60, obviously all that weekly gyrating on our screens ( I am cringing just thinking about it) made him look older than he was.

just checked the RTE website, he has aged rather better than expected....i suppose he's not thick after all then
