  Can I suggest that the rot set in when decimilisation came in. Or when they changed the name of Marathon to Snickers. Mind you old fogeys have long said it was the sixties, government ministers sleeping with callgirls and an unelected Prime Minister and the like no doubt.

  one day we will have to sit down and go through a number of policies/ideas
  and im sure there will be a number we will agree on.
  
  Although we would probably have diffrent approaches on how to achieve it
  
  
  one day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  might be a grumpy meal from now on,
  due to the credit crunch the big mac will now be called little mac.
  and burger king will be downsized to burger prince.
  and all beers wines and sprits will be served in metric.

  Last time I saw the ad Keith he was merely the 'Green Giant' I did read an explanation of the change offered by the advertising company that referred to the word jolly being outmoded..... I thought it a sad and pathetic excuse myself.

  Ay, Barry saw advert very recently and jolly still there.
  
  
  Also noticed one of the first milky way adverts was on again today, the old ones are the best.
