    One message "You could be a winner! No purchase nesessary. Details inside." is not as stupid as it may seem. If you have to buy something to win [a product, a ticket, a politician] then it stops being being a straight competition and becomes gambling and as you know gambling 'is bad'. IIRC this method was first used in the Merca but has spread over here as well.

        We had a melon salad on Sunday - Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats Cheese - and it was damned good.

          I read that as... "Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats, Cheese - and it was damned good." I needed to read it again to realize it wasn't goats and cheese. :)

          It was broke, so I fixed it.

              No, the warning is correct. Peanuts are legumes[^], not nuts. If there were only peanuts, the warning would not be needed.

                A co-worker is allergic to tree nuts, not ground nuts (such as peanuts), So, there IS a significant difference...

                    Walkers Crisps should put a "may contain Crisps" warning on their packets.

                              Would that politically correct.

                              As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
