And no, its not facist. It might be deeply hypocritical but its something this country should be ashamed of. The arguement can be made, but by the same arguement the SS fought for Germany. If thats hypocritical, fine, call me a hypocrite.

I'm just annoyed they didn't call them Battle of Britain Bangers.

I'm annoyed that the use by date is three weeks before remembrance sunday.

I have to confess, I wouldn't mind seeing my name on a packet of sausages. Especially if they tasted like the old Murphy's Popular sausages from my childhood, the likes of which I've never been able to find again. Popular sausages in an Abernethy's Olde Dutch bread sandwich.

Excuse me for a moment....
