There's no crisps. Anywhere.

I've got 3 bags of Kettle Chips in my crisp drawer. I wasn't even aware of there being a crisp shortage.

 

[ouirdeaux]

You have a dedicated crisp drawer?

You have a dedicated crisp drawer?

General snacks, yes. But mostly Kettle Chips.

Well. it's more of a plastic storage tub on a bookshelf in the kitchen than a drawer...

 

[moochedit]

There's no crisps. Anywhere.

The sainsburys local near my work has about 3 million bags of "thai sweet chicken" flavour walkers crisps and no other flavours for about 2 weeks now. Thought it was a bit odd.

 

[cupid_stunt]

That explains the shortage of Walkers around here, I thought it was down to delivery problems.

 

[quiet guy]

They've also had a fire at the Leicester plant. Bags of Walkers will be going for extortionate prices down on the street corners.

Various regional dailies in the north have shared this front page today.

Northern dailies have united to run the same “brutal splash” urging Boris Johnson to keep his promise on rail improvements.

Newspapers across the North of England will run the front page tomorrow morning, which pays homage to Danny Boyle’s 1996 film Trainspotting.

Titles running the front page include Newcastle dailies The Chronicle and the Journal, the Teesside Gazette. Huddersfield Daily Examiner, Hull Daily Mail and Manchester Evening News.

The joint campaign comes amid reports the Prime Minister is set to scrap most of the eastern leg of the High Speed 2 railway line and dilute plans for a new line between Leeds and Manchester.

I was reading about bog bodies when this rather unexpected piece of speculation turned up (OK - not a local newspaper headline but not sure where else to put it)

No evidence that Europe's bog bodies were gay

Danish bogs have preserved some unique archaeological finds: Grauballe Man and Tollund Man, to name a few.

From the end of the article:

A local signature could indicate that they had committed a crime and were sacrificed as a result. But being chosen as the fen's victim may also have been an honour, for the victim and their family, says Lynnerup.

Alternatively, if the strontium analyses indicate that the bog bodies had travelled to reach the fen this could suggest that they were high status individuals or even royalty.

What an idea...

For some reason I was drawn into this leader from the local Melton press.it’s so mundane and petty , it is quite special

Splinters have emerged in the ruling Conservative group on Melton Borough Council after two councillors were removed as chairs of key committees following disagreements with leader Joe Orson.

I liked this bit -

The 58-year-old made headlines across the world in 2010 when a 4ft high concrete willy from his shop, which he refused to remove from the window, was seized by police. Officers, who had received complaints about it being obscene, carted off the masonry manhood on April Fools' Day.

Jason refused to pay an £80 fine to get the stone penis back and instead ordered 150 more of the ornaments from Indonesia.

The incident led to him launching the 'Free Willy' campaign, with pictures appearing online of a stone penises in various locations and disguises.

Pressure was put on North Yorkshire Police to release the ornament and it was later returned to the shop on Bedale Road.

Jason Hadlow with a police officer and the offending object

He said that they managed to capture some CCTV of the thieves but, due to the light conditions, they were unable to identify them.

Jason added: "We should have had night vision out there, frankly we cocked up!"

Burglar steals eight Pot Noodles but leaves some flavours behind

The thief is said to have taken the beef and tomato flavoured pot noodles but left the chicken and mushroom ones behind

Taking the beef and tomatoes but leaving the chicken and mushrooms behind? Appalling taste.

 

[quiet guy]

It's a definite niche market for concrete penises. Wouldn't have thought Hambleton District was a hotbed of penis sculptures
