I dip in now and then. I remember the ozz tour thread, Can't remember what I posted.
My thing was the jam spread thing. You might remember my name from that, because I found the factory where their jam spread is made :-)
Hey, not that I feel the need to justify myself posting on what is now a high traffic subject. Just saying that is likely why you recognize the name.
Now. What I have not seen so far on these threads (I think) is speculation as to what the upcoming " As Ever, English Country Garden Range" will include. My guess is cider, or cider vinegar. Lovingly hand crafted from selected heirloom varieties of apples, grown in Royal orchards.
But actually, made in an industrial estate in Hull. With French apples.
I bet the apple picking vids are done and edited. Diaphanous dress and soft focus, bare feet tussle haired kids frolicking in the distance, happy flat capped men operating a 200 year old farmyard cider press, doffing said caps, and tennis stars in the country kitchen, learning from the master. The secrets of cider vinegar.
My guess is the Sainsburys deal fell through. And Tesco are not interested, because they already get supplied from that factory in Hull.
