Another Thing,
We’re in Bude and decide now lets have a quick snack, I know lets have a Cornish Pasty. Wrong they now cost £4.50 each. For the family that’s 18 blinking quid! The baker’s wife stands on the shop step saying, I don’t quite know why trade is falling off…is it the weather? So many people used to visit Bude perhaps we need a Lottery Grant. No just don’t rip off holiday makers, ask a fair price and who knows perhaps they may visit and purchase another pasty in the future. £18 is a lot of money for a family to spend on a passing snack!
I was in Barnstaple during the week with my daughter she wanted a Warren’s pasty, guess how much it was? I think it was £2.20. It was half the size of the ones I recall but more than twice the price. It was so hot and super heated she won’t be able to eat it until next week! Meanwhile we’ll keep it in our fireplace and heat the house for a week!
Another thing three times today we’ve had tea and each time they bring out the beverage in these incompetent stainless steel jugs. They’ve no real spout and when you pour it dribbles like an incontinent yak! Who designed these items? Did they try out a prototype of some kind? Well Coruthers how did the jug trial go? Well it dribbled all over the place Sir we’ll have to make adjustments to the non existent spout. Mmmm problem Coruthers, we’ve already made 10.000.000 of them we’ll just have to go with it now! Ever since motorway service stations have soaking wet tables due to this totally idiotic and useless item. A personal message to all the salesman who promote this crappy product; I’d like you to blow your useless brains all over your incontinent dog’s kennel.

Now here’s a thing, how many times have your stopped in a motorway service station or café and ordered a cup o tea? They serve up the beverage in stainless steel teapots and jugs just like this. You then find that it’s totally impossible to pour the contents properly without dribbling or spilling it all over the table. Yet another pathetic design flaw! How many years have they been manufacturing these incompetent pouring receptacles? Perhaps the prototypes were never tested? Or perhaps the designers had already committed the manufacturers to large production runs and thought, f..k it just let it go! Anyway, how do such shite designs continue to be used? Thank you Red Barn for yet another dribbling teapot and 13.7% of my tea lost to the saucer and table top!

The Belgian academic, Professor Jean-Marc Vanden-Broeck, of the University of East Anglia has spent 20 years specialising in fluid flows, spent a month studying “The Teapot Effect“. If you want to see why these useless pots exist please read this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/227572.stm
