Are you blanking us all, or just JH?

The damned swine has edited his post again after I have replied to it. I hope he is proud of himself.

I never use Knorr as they have an extremely high salt content, far more than other cubes such as Oxo.  I do use stock cubes, but I often have stock frozen in small bags in the freezer.. :D   ;).

Was my declaration of Colwyn-love so embarrassing it required this rather unsubtle and confounding change of subject, Jacqui? If so, then hats off. It worked.

As Colwyn brought up the subject of stock cubes (not me) I thought it my duty to inform him of the dangers of the brand he was using. 
I was only thinking of his health and not the politics of sticking to the changing subject matter of the thread.

Thank you. I am aware of the high salt content of Knorr cuboids: it would be difficult not to be. I compensate by under-seasoning the rest of the meal and only use them as back-up when I have none of my own stock available and if we are out of low-salt options.

"Most Tastiest"
TESCO have been up to their bad old tricks again. As part of their plot to despoil the English language they have now advanced their illiterate behaviour into packaging. Fortunately they have been exposed by a Somerset schoolboy (aged 15) and have now been forced into a tactical retreat. Well done Albert Gifford. One battle won but, remember, the war with the evil enemy of our linguistic inheritance goes on and Constant Vigilance must be our pledge.

In a new corporate manoeuvre Morrisons is trying to resuscitate its failing marketing strategy by attempting to rival Tesco in the illiteracy game.
