Actually I meant supermarket brands and condiments!

And I would never dream of having HP on a steak! It’s brown sauce! Quite  
tangy! A good alternative to ketchup with your breakfast (Full English  
of course!)

And I think Brighton might be a little too far for me, maybe we could  
arrange somewhere north or west of London J2M?

I have to delurk and admit to being both Australian and living in  
London… I would never try and force that nasty Vegemite stuff on  
anyone though. HP, on the other hand, is an acceptable occasional  
substitute for proper BBQ sauce.

if anyone wants a beer on a Friday, either in the City/Blackfriars or  
NW-something, I might be able to go. I go to Brighton only rarely; if  
I want maddening crowds Oxford Circus is close enough.

To keep on topic (!), I don’t know about why and his chunky bacon.  
His writing is just too crazed for me to follow and I end up no wiser  
and with a headache, but a lot of people can’t get enough of him.
