Not long ago they hit back at criticism by running the following ad.<br /><b>"CRUMBS MEAN A BETTER BISCUIT"</b> <br />can you believe it!! Digestive consumers are perhaps not as stupid as the digestive manufacturers like to think, because the ad. didn't run very long, and slogans began to appear on walls and the sides of railway wagons . .<br /><b>"CRUMBS MEAN THE BISCUITS ARE CRAP"</b>Doctor FTSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052101566471519778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478273688536973765.post-46376179894855535162011-03-20T03:12:40.002+00:002011-03-20T03:12:40.002+00:00oh dang.

Impact-resistant Digestives?? <br />You're wonderfully nutty, Dr. <br /><br />Women's stockings, same deal. Runs (ladders) are so un-necessary. Built-in obsolesence (gad I hate it when I have to rely on my own spelling) and all that.

Well sports fans- they might do that but when it comes to disposing of them good luck! They are considered a hazardous waste...now who thought that up?

I will try that. <br />I completely agree about the low energy bulbs. The very white light (6500ºK equivalent) is horrible. We can still BUY filament bulbs in the UK and legally use them, but can no longer import them. The low energy ones don't have the life that is claimed for them. The first one we installed popped the first time it was switched on. Another lasted about 2 hours.Doctor FTSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052101566471519778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478273688536973765.post-24333604632738136282011-03-15T06:20:29.563+00:002011-03-15T06:20:29.563+00:00Of course that white suit was undestroyable - must...Of course that white suit was undestroyable - must have been Alec Guiness in 'The Man in the White Suit'Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478273688536973765.post-17968353642837840472011-03-15T06:18:06.492+00:002011-03-15T06:18:06.492+00:00Dear Doctor FTSE,

Remember (but then: why should you?) the silk stockings that were fabricated to last very, very long? The thing is that the weakest part of the chain is what ruins your possessions: "Sorry, Love, don't have a replacement part for this...must buy a new one..." <br />(Having written a well-selling book on household management, I have to tell you that it is worth while to give a drop of glycerine or some talcum powder on the seals of your fridge now and then :-) <br />Strange things happen: man being a semiconductor, sometimes, when I get agitated, bulbs pop when I touch the light switch - but seeing that awful light from the energy saving bulbs we were ordered by law to use in Germany now, it is not such a big loss ...Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.com
