God help us men who try to get on a "Virgin Train" then?...Lol
I'd love to see what they would do with a Greyhound Bus that only
carries people passengers?
To think this statement comes from a Welsh Trading Standards Officer,
he/she has to be located in Newtown?
Maybe they should have a whip around to get them the glasses they
needs to read the ingredients!
Then again there was no menton of their being any "Black Mountains"
in the product either? But they omitted to mention this!
Does "Welsh Lamb" probably born over the Borders in
Shropshire/Hereford therefor not also constitute a misconception
amongst the innocent buyers of the end product?
Welsh Lamb My A**e as Jim Royale would say!
We sell a variety of potato here in Ireland called British Queens and
you have King Edwards over in the UK. I cannot see any likeness to
either Monarch myself unless King Edward was a Murphy?"
Lol.
cheers
