I love how they take a 'if you want to join this band of insensitive nutters..." ad on the end of the piece.

need to know.


Sue - they probably are :))


That's how I do mine, I crush 'em with butter+chilli flakes+mint (a bit Nandos of me but there you go) - delicious.


Mushy peas are a different beast entirely.

Look away now Sue if I were you

But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors.
