falsedog Rank: Jasper	HP outrage posted on: 5/11/2006 9:16:07 AM It's all anyone's talking about: the closure next year of the HP sauce factory...front page news in the Torygraph! it's being relocated to Holland. I quote John Jordon of the TGWU: "When Heinz took over the HP sauce plant last year they promised there would be no shift in production. Now we see that Heinz promises are as worthless as an empty sauce bottle." Do you care? Perhaps you work at the sauce factory and have a strong opinion. Or perhaps you have an amusing HP sauce memory.

bluenosesol	HP outrage replied on: 5/12/2006 2:07:27 PM The gents who own Big John's chippies and wish to buy HP, have said that they do not know of a household that does not put HP sauce on their fish and chips. Surely you put brown sauce on bacon and eggs or mash it into corned beef. Ketchup is what you put on fish and chips?. Besides there is still Daddies sauce isnt that the same as HP?.

Ketchup is what you put on fish and chips?. Besides there is still Daddies sauce isnt that the same as HP?. Agreed about the bacon and eggs. But Grrrr!! Daddies Sauce is absolutely not the same as HP. Daddies is thin and vinegary. HP is rich and spicy. Oh ye of little taste. Right, here's the plan. If we boycot HP Sauce do you realise we'll cause a glut on the world tamarind markets and the price will crash. So we should buy tamarind futures, sell them short to manipulate the market and make a handsome killing. Then we could buy the factory off Heinz with the profit and become condiment magnates. I mean, that Richard Branston, he seems to have done very well out of pickles. Every cloud etc...

m8e Rank: Ozzy	HP outrage replied on: 5/17/2006 8:15:20 PM When he's not falling out of coconut trees, Keith Richards is an avid consumer of HP sauce. In Victor Bockris's biography of the great man, he states that while on tour with the Stones, quote - "Keith's diet consisted of eggs and bacon with HP sauce, hamburgers and french fries with HP sauce, fish and chips with HP sauce. He bought the sauce by the crate." He allegedly even had his own "HP sauce roadie" to ensure he was always supplied with the stuff. What better celebrity endorsement could you have than that?

peakyblinder old hand Rank: Chinny	HP outrage replied on: 5/23/2006 3:54:04 PM I saw Carl Chinn promoting a local interest programme on TV the other day. He asked, "Where else can bottles with HP on the front be made but Birmingham?" How about London?

On one side is a photo of the gaffer himself (one of the best in town BTW, who broad-mindedly tolerates my hyper-manic over-talkative condition), while the other side consists of a postcard addressed to Tony Blair, exhorting him to intervene and keep HP production in Aston. All you need to do is sign it and put a stamp on it. Incidentaly, I gather there was a "Save Our Sauce" march in Aston yesterday, attended by - you guessed it - Carl Chinn and that bloke who dresses up in the union jack outfit. Looks like it's doomed then.
