Be Excellent To Each Other

Are they not lush?

But their online shop is sold out of... almost everything that interests me that I can't get from the supermarket back home.

Does anyone know if they do a factory tour/factory shop or anything, as I'm actually in Bradford at the moment?

USE crowbar WITH window

USE bag WITH box

USE keys WITH getaway car

If you have a Costco membership, a box of 48 is about 8 quid.

You don't understand. I want to skip the shipping costs and just GO AND GET a 48 packet box.

You're not going to be in Bratfud forever. And then what? Eh?

Exactly. And before I leave tomorrow, it would be nice to go and get some delicious crisps on the cheap.

Also, all the buildings here are YELLOW.

Om nom nom

Thankfully, I only like Salt & Vinegar and the big Sainsbury's stocks Seabrook's. Huzzah*!


* for my blandness

Salt and Vinegar makes my mouth hurt

Seabrooks S+V aren't a patch on either Real or Tyrrells either.

Not anymore. Their flavours have really gone downhill, and now seem to consist almost entirely of onion. Also, the few flavours I do still like are gone, due to "capacity" problems. (Read: Seabrook's now selling via supermarkets and has had to "temporarily" stop all its interesting flavours to keep up demand. So, its USP is down the drain, to get Yet Another S&V/Ready Salted into the shops. Hurrah!)

'Real' jalepeno pepper are my favourite crisps

Try Tyrrell's version of same

ha I had these tonight, from my favourite pub in shields. next to the river with nothing near it except rubble from dialect housing. It really is amazing, not held down from brewing companys, does have the typical drafts but they have so many kinds and makes of spirits and stuff that its overwhelming. the best thing its a pub without the typical arseholes that seem to be in every single other pub, I really mean Ive only met one knob in this pub before and that really is the exception that makes the rule, also it sells good crisps liek real crisps but it also sells chocolate and sports mixtures. wooo except i cant eat sports mixtures, fucking veggienism.

went off on one but its a great pub. On my friends birthday we put money together to buy shots like 20 quid odd, because shots were like 2quid odd and they let us spend the money but fir a quid a shot on daft strength absinthe and sambuca and jagermeister. which is how any pub should treat there customers. they also have a giant connect 4, which played all the time so they bought 2 other smaller sets so we could have more games at one time.

fuck me I want to sleep there.

LEAVE MY CRISPS ALONE!

(Caprica) 6 bananas.

-2015 bananas for going for a BSG reference over a Blade Runner reference.

Broken bricks with a patois?

*Coff* Burt's *coff*

Pah. If I'd have got there first.

800 bananas just for posting a P34

Cool though it is, I reckon the March 240 was cooler.



I remember drooling copiously over it in an old Scalextric catalog.

I think to be really cool they have to have actually raced them.

The P34 would have dominated if it wasn't that Goodyear couldn't keep up small tyre dev for one team.

Yeah, it could have been interesting to see which configuration was better. According to Wikipedia, the 240's big problem was the gearbox wasn't strong enough, but once it was repaired the car was very good and apparently dominated hill climbing events.

So... Crisps eh?


Om nom nom.

Yeah. In the end I just came home instead.

I don't think I'd have had much luck even if there was a factory store. As per the rest of this thread (that isn't about six-wheeled F1 cars) the online shop is also showing loads of good flavours as unavailable.

I'm gutted as I never got around to getting one of the big boxes of 48 with all the amazing flavours.

I suppose I should be supporting Real Crisps as they're more of a local business to me (Crumlin, butt) as opposed to a bunch of fools who've gotten drunk on their own success and think that by getting a Pythonesque website and selling out to the supermarkets that they're not going to lose the borderline obsessive fans like us.

What's next? 2 litre bottles of Fentiman's?

Well, quite. Aside from the utterly hateful shop, ditching the interesting flavours for the obvious ones, to sell through supermarkets strikes me as a slightly odd decision, not least because Seabrook produce is already disappearing from some. (Waitrose no longer stock the crisps, for example.) And Seabrook lost me as a customer because of it (well, that and the fact half their crisps now taste purely of onion powder and garlic). Turns out Waitrose low-fat crinkle-cut are nicer anyway.

I like them, the missus prefers Real Crisps and I have to admit I am starting to as well, not least of all because they somehow have the 'capacity' to produce multipacks of both the 'normal' and 'hot' flavours.*

*read 'pleb' and 'interesting'

Jalapeno Pepper Real crisps are my favoured crisps of any form.

Om nom nom! Craig likes the Roast Ox flavoured Real Crisps, which are also very tasty and have a slight onion taste to them which I think compliments them a lot.

I bought the 'hot' multipack of Real Crisps once. One packet of Jalapeno was severely underwhelming and didn't taste of anything, while the next was excessively hot.

Kate once opened a packet of their ready salted to find that there was only one crisp inside. She was ready to send it off to them and complain until I pointed out that she couldn't prove she hadn't just eaten most of the contents and then posted them one crisp in complaint. I also was puzzled as to how she hadn't noticed something was wrong BEFORE opening the bag.

She insisted, though, and sealed the bag and put it into the fridge in preparation. It's still there, a year later.

My folks once got an entirely empty pack of Walkers Ready Salted (which, frankly, was an improvement taste-wise).

I had a completely empty snack sized pack of peanut M&Ms, factory sealed and everything. The bar stewards.
