In Praise of Fray Bentos

[classic33]

Went to stock up on FB pies for our upcoming trip away in the van. Tescos want £2 each!
I went next door and got them for £1 at the pound shop.

Fray Bentos or Princes?
They're no longer selling Fray Bentos at the local one.

These were genuine FB pies - maybe they were collector's items? That might explain the premium price.

Burn your feet, in water!!

Yes

When you have to stand in boiling water for 40 minutes, of course they are going to burn

Scald, not burn. That or the waters a bit odd down your way.

Well down at the "BURNS" unit, they said I had 3rd degree "BURNS"

I couldn't find the "SCALD" unit for comparison
