What was the flavour of the purple coloured one then?

There wasn't a purple one in the original Opal Fruit - four refreshing fruit flavours, lime, orange, lemon and strawberry. I think the rebranded Starburst had purple ones.

After a very quick bit of reading around, t seems you are correct - the purple/blackcurrant one was introduced at the same time as the name change to Starburst. It just seems to me like it's always been there.

The bulk of his family's wealth is taxed overseas though. His wife is starting to pay £2 million a year in UK tax to save his political career.

He's definitely in it for himself. Look at his government. They've done little to help society. Look at how many food banks are in existence now. It might not be about the salary but it's definitely the power, the influence and the ability to put rules into place to benefit himself and his friends and family.

Yes I thought that exactly. I was sure I could remember eating purple Opal Fruits in the 60's, which lead to my wife correcting me. Memory is a funny thing isn't it?

It always used to irritate me.

”fresh with the tang of citrus - four refreshing fruit flavours…”. I remember thinking “strawberry is not citrus”

My bit of ignorance, not being much of a coffee drinker, was believing for some years that Espresso was called Expresso.

I had the same misconception, don't worry.

I always expect my coffee expresso - especially in the morning. I hate to wait

Highway code 237 states that you must keep your car well ventilated at all times to prevent drowsiness. Failure to do so can result in £5,000 fine.

I remember watching Neighbours as a child, and thinking 'cappuccino' was 'cup of chino'.

I just found out that those travel pillows that go around your neck, are supposed to be placed with the gap at the back rather than the front, so you have support for your chin/cheeks. I always had the gap at the front and didn't find them that comfortable

I wish I'd known that 30 years ago

I thought they go round the front as well.

bloody hell, never knew that either, maybe because adverts etc for them show the gap at the front....

 

[Electric_Andy]

I don't know if there's a right or wrong way as far as the designers are concerned, but I've always seen them advertised as gap towards the front. But saw someone on YouTube point out that they work better with gap at the back. Thinking about it now it makes much more sense, and I feel stupid having not at least tried it year's ago!
