Perhaps because they are chilled the flavour is less noticeable, plus if they make them suitably bland there aren't any strong flavours for people to object to?

I don't think so, my sarnies aren't that powerful flavourwise, just 'normal' but the bread has taste likewise the fillings................. I don't know for sure but I suspect they are 'Irradiated' to kill off any bacteria and increase their 'shelf life'
I mean my own butties don't have 'exotic fillings' just normal like Cheese and Onion/Pickle, Tuna and Mayo, Ham and Mustard, Corned Beef and Mustard or Egg with Mayo and Cress nothing I haven't been eating for the past decades.

my car seems to have vanished from it's usual parking place but there is a black Audi there instead. The local garage have obviously been and taken it away for attention.

Have a strong coffee before getting in the Audi, hopefully it will counteract the weird forces that result in BMW like driving.
Showers predicted by local radio, Met Office have issued a thunderstorm warning.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's returned to normal with a bit of high cloud obscuring the sun. Coffee has been had and I will be heading out shortly to the carpet people to see what they've got and how much it's going to cost me.

I think the sunshine yesterday put everyone in a good mood - I was wearing my Foska 'HP Sauce' jersey and had plenty of jokey comments - one lady said I'd put her in the mood for a sausage & egg sarnie while I was stopped to take a photo, a couple of 'Saucy' comments and had a little joke about it with a motorist at some traffic lights.

Lovely sunny day, so far, in Hamtun.
Riding to a local village at lunchtime to watch Grandson at his sports day 🏋️

Many moons ago, MrsPete worked at the company that was taken over by Greencore, Telfers. It first became Uniq, then Greencore.
Telfers made sandwiches solely for M&S and when The Man came in to check the quality, if he wasn't happy with the amount & quality, the entire batch got rejected.
I had lovely sandwiches in my work lunchbox when that happened 😂

I do miss running 'proper' exams for my university students. Running them online is definitely not the same.

Are you talking about the Isle of Whithorn or Whithorn?

Yes I should have realised the difference. We always stayed at Isle of Whithorn and I forgot that Whithorn is a different place.

That was standard M&S practice hence the factory shops that were full of M&S seconds, typically with nothing wrong with them. Remember a pair of trousers that eventually got returned to them when my mother finally realised my complaints were genuine - the two halfs of the trousers were different waist sizes.

Telfers originally made the pies, as well as the sarnies, for M&S in Moulton Park, Hamtun. Apparently they substituted cheaper meat cuts than specified. M&S found out and pulled the plug on them within hours.
They only just kept the sandwich making!
