@johntownley11 Spot on again. Basically don't sodden your pants IF we don't win v West ham. Played Thurs, they didn't. Of course we want to win and I think we will, but this notion that we seem to have that we simply have to turn up or teams should get steamrolled by us is nonsense. Hardest league for a reason. Any club can beat one another and the most consistent over 38 games get the top spots. We are where we are as we've been one of the MOST consistent. UTV #avfc
@BladeoftheS It's gone downhill massively in recent years, since it passed through different corporations.
My dad worked there for over 25 years from the late 60s when it was at its finest.
I won't buy/eat it any more.
This is what happens when we allow a faceless US corporations like Kraft which are interested only in profit to buy much loved UK confectionary brands:
* the taste changes because of the use of environmentally hostile and lower quality ingredients like palm oil and other vegetable fats with a reduction in the amount of cocoa butter used.
* Dairy Milk and Creme Eggs have had their weights reduced while prices have remained the same or have increased.
* Shape changes from the traditional angular Dairy Milk chunks to a more rounded shape reduced a bar's volume further contributing to shrinkflation.
* some products have undergone other changes like the chocolate in the creme egg shell being changed to a "standard mix" and Fruit & Nut ingredients being changed to cheaper ones.
* Lost jobs - Production has moved from the Bournville factory in Birmingham to, or increased in, European factories like Poland.
