@WilliamSitwell @MasterChefUK Colours nailed firmly to the mast there…

@lloydmoran @JamesBWatt No need. James is sending me 10k, remember?
Thanks for the support though.

@BladeofScarlett @jeffreyjohnbell They don’t. I’ve met plenty that have moved over from commission based selling in other fields.
So they’ve got all the sales patter talk down (“premium” this and “small batch” that) but the moment you ask them anything outside of their script, they’re fucked.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@jeffreyjohnbell Yeah I’ve had it in Bologna. Typically made with green pasta, also.
Despite most depictions, it’s finished with a layer of ragu, not bechemal/ cheese.

@jeffreyjohnbell @tandleman I’ll check at work, but most of our stuff has been Bari.

@JonJCannon Me when someone asks if the Sauvy B is “dry”.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@jeffreyjohnbell Yep. I have plenty of guanciale and fennel sausages in the freezer, and just picked up some Burrata for 80p or so cheaper than Tesco.

@jeffreyjohnbell Bloke actually said “it’s a spirits measure, so legal”!
🤦🏻‍♂️

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@jeffreyjohnbell @BladeofScarlett Ah yes. I always forget about City. That makes sense.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@jeffreyjohnbell @BladeofScarlett Ah, is Cityflyer still a thing? My Mum used to fly with the. I thought they merged the fleets (before kicking everyone out during Covid).

I’m never in Club, so the days of having complimentary drinks on BA flights are sadly far behind me, not that I didn’t have my fair share.

@jeffreyjohnbell @BladeofScarlett The only time you ever see 187.5 is those little bottles on planes.

For me, the answer is 175ml as at nearly a quarter of a bottle, it seems about right.
It’s always bothered me how it’s 50ml away from being a “small”, but 75ml off being “large”. I suppose I’d like 187.5 too

@CrowMo99 @BarstewardGrazz @EaterWriter There’s plenty of sub £20 Bordeaux you can list at that price.
So you’re not getting Growths. So what? It’s £80 in 2024.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@joshbythesea Pretty sure I went there and it’s about a fiver.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@jeffreyjohnbell @nickpwriley @typeasimage I also think it’s weird for the product name to be bigger and more prominent than the Brewery name.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@nickpwriley They look like children’s books.
Shocking that someone got paid for that.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@mindofmarcelo @HeffnerCoach @Rothmus “Child Advocate” too.

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@BeerPrimeUK @drinksmaven @teamdb Haha. Damn I thought it was a genuine oversight! 😂

[Adam G. Manning @Adam_G_Manning]

@BeerPrimeUK @drinksmaven @teamdb No, it’s a Proper Job, Paul.
