The Branston factory burned down, and national stocks are likely to
have run out within a fortnight.

 

Fucking hell, I thought this was a great piss take, until I read this:

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Don't Panic!

How the **** does a warehouse full of Branston Bloody Pickle burn?

Gloop, Splat, Burble... sizzle ....

Nope. Nor in France.

Didn't know you could get it there, TBH. We've still got a reasonable
supply brought over from the UK on our last trip, when we loaded up
the Volvo full of English stuff, including beer, cheese, salad cream,
branstons and very much more. And decent bed and bath linen from John
Lewis. Somehow these foreigners don't seem to be able to produce the
same sort of quality.

 

talk to me nicely and next time I come over I'll bring some?

this should be early December but I cant promise anything.

Basel, on business. I can take temporary custody if you like. (You
prolly didn't realise, but we work in the same team).

Couple of points you may find of interest - Manor do a perfectly
acceptable mild-ish cheddar at normal prices and there's an 'English'
shop in Basel now that imports all the above items (plus real bacon
etc.) with the exception of the bangers, which he gets made up locally
to his authentic recipe. Not cheap, but good quality.

Let me know if you want owt, or mebbe pop over for a beer one of these
evenings?

 

Hand-on-heart, I can only recommend this to Bob if he's aware that he
will inevitably be supping brandy, whisky, vodka, gin or absinthe in
the wee small hours.

At least, that's what's ending up happening every time I've had a beer
with you.


Brilliant!

 

No. Thought not

Heh. This is Basel - most pubs will be closed by 2am during the week,
it's true. Except for the clubs and the girlie bars, of course. Not
that I've ever been out in girlie bars until five in the morning, no
way, no how, no sir.

Heh. There's always the floor of our studio flat.

 

it hasnt been confirmed yet so I guess its not going to be next week
now. I'll chase it when I get back into work which will probably be
tomorrow.

didnt have to go that far ;o)

<Makes list>

any preference on sausages?

when i was there i missed beans and heinz tomato soup. Bruce & Judith
miss Cadburys chocolate & parsnips.

Basel. as Bruce as mentioned I work in the same team as him.

I normally stay in the Radisson. close to town for beer.

just me.

I will when its confirmed. if you remember stuff in the mean time you
can always email me to or replace spam
with Adie from the headers.

As they say around here: "gebonkt!"

 

Wow. I've not seen them anywhere around here, even in Globus. Some
French supermarkets have them occasionally, but they're round about
the 1Eu/tin mark, and I still have a couple of tins in the cellar, so
I've never been tempted.

If they're reasonably priced, then yes please. Having said that, I'm
fairly sure the aforementioned English Shop will have them anyway, but
it'd be interesting to compare prices.
