I struggle to remember what they are advertising, but it looks a lot like desperation - "We had a bad idea and in order not to have to admit it we are going to develop it and make like we meant it all along".

Fellrunning Dec 2016 6:58pm, 16 Dec 2016 1,798 posts	Quote Pin Fellrunning The reaction when I tell people I don't care much for mince pies.

[I don't like mince pies and I've never had anything more than the mildest response in real life when I've mentioned this.]

Eynsham the Red nosed reindeer Dec 2016 7:32pm, 16 Dec 2016 1,180 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham the Red nosed reindeer I love the mince pies my wife makes, with her own home made filling. Shop bought ones though with a thick cloying paste filling are another matter though. FR, I have a similar reaction when I tell people that we don't like curry. It's a shame as we miss out on some social events that take in a curry house.
