........the first lot we labelled Taylors at 6d per quarter, and the next lot were labelled Trebor at 9d per quarter. Total rip off ;)

That's going back a bit then  ;) ;)

1971 or before.

I remember in the run up to decimalisation everything was double-priced.

I had a fountain pen marked 15/- and 75p.

It was to help out the elderly and easily confused.

And everything was upped to the nearest £1. So 19s 10d/11d became £1, except in the 99p shop.  ;D

Heinz beanz are soft soggy shite. In blind tests they come nowhere.

Unless they are being sold at 4 tins for a quid I won't touch them.

you're not a fan then .....  ::) ::) What about HP beans?  :)
Aldi beans are good. Don,t get Sainsbury ones, they,re like bullets. ;D

Andy as you are our beans expert but anyone else might know too,

What is the answer to how many beans makes five?

This was a popular and irritating question adults asked children back in the early 60’s. Then they thought the answer was hilarious. I suspect it was on a tv show at the time.
I was always taught:

2 beans
Half a bean
A bean and a half
And a bean


But the shermans do it slightly different.

It's really not a good idea to put a tin of beans through a mutt.

The consequences don't don't bear thinking about. :)
