I bought a packet of haslet this evening for me to try, but mainly for my dog to eat. At least I think I bought it. I've rooted through my shopping bag and fridge, but there's no sign of it. Something tells me I didn't buy it after all. My last hope if I did buy it is that it could've fallen out my bag while the bag was in my car boot. I'd like to have a look, but my car's parked a fair way off and it's peeing down, so checking will have to wait till tomorrow.

Don't think I've had haslet since I was a teenager.

Probably best if I've lost it or didn't buy it in the first place. I bet it's made from vital organs and dangly bits! :unsure:

Possibly, though it is a pork based meatloaf, usually with herbs. But being made from minced pork, it could have any bits of the pig in it.

That is the Lincolnshire version, which is where it traditionally comes from.

Apparently in Wales, it is usually from pigs liver, but I haven't had the Welsh version, having spent my teenage years living in Grantham, Lincolnshire (moved to Wales for Uni in 1978, and have stayed ever since).

I'm not sure what they're trying to sell about it: "Buy our impractically large car" seems an odd slogan. I've watched drivers trying to navigate these through old German cities, it's quite entertaining unless you own an old house and have to pay for the repairs...

On the increased use of spoken Americanisms over here, interesting to observe that folk still have / use a 'mobile phone' or simply 'mobile' rather that 'cellphone' or simply 'cell'. :whistle:
 
From memory they are advertising that you can remote-drive the car out of the space to get in it. It doesn’t mention how the other car’s occupants are supposed to get in or out though.

Having seen that my thoughts are that these are cars for self centred inconsiderate people
because if it takes up that much room in a parking space then it is almost certain to make it difficult or impossible for the people to get into the car on the left or right
but its OK because I was rich enough to buy this massive tank with a fancy feature to help ME

and f*** you and your problems

not sure that is the image they wanted

Yep I am with you on that one. I have a very kind friend who does all the right things and we were in the Elan valley on a narrow road, walking.

One shoved past us and he was fuming, which he rarely does. So I asked why.

`Because its just a way of saying fark you to everything that matters' was his reply.
