100,000 signatures needed to change Snickers to Marathon

[Tin Pot]

Cynical old me thinks the petition was raised by some marketing type at Cadbury. In the same way they brought back Wispas "by popular demand."

Bring back hanging.

For marketing types, yes.

I would much rather see Marathon than Snickers around the place because "snicker" is annoying as a word as well as an action, and marathon is something everyone in this country should be training for (fat asses).

However, I basically think* sweets and chocolates shouldn't exist, they are on my List Of Things That Should Not Be. My house is infested with them "for the kids" and fat dad is the one eating them all in an effort to purify the house and children.

I might start a weekly Sweet Burning in the garden.

*I am after all middle aged.

What's wrong with gender stereo typing chocolate bars?

Good heavens above. Texan bars took about 4 days to eat.

Used to get a 2lb bag of them, 17 per bag. They may have gone back for more chocolate by accident.

Why? They did a pink version.

I used to dream of my local sweetshop - you know the ones where sweets were by weight?

Is that the stuff you squirt over pancakes?

It was also a cleaning fluid ... you Lemon

Ha ha - did they really? Did they think that brought balance to their message?

I typed Greeves Invacars on Google and my curiosity was correct.Anyone connected with Coventry City will remember (as would away fans) lots of them in the vacinity of the pitch.
Obviously people then had a less than PC name for them.

I used to work at Papworth

There was a unique experimental village for "disabled" people with housing, shops and employment

The weird thing was that you would nip to the pub and the car park would be full of the Invacars

Same with shops and streets
