Troubled Minds

Unless you are suicidal you are not going to buy a big jar of salted peanuts if you have a nut allergy, so why therefore do they need to label them with "allergy advice" which states that unsurprisingly that a jar of salted peanuts contain peanuts (instead of peanuts being a euphemism for something naughty - "Some peanuts for the weekend sir [nudge nudge, wink wink]?") and they were packaged in a factory that works with...wait for it...peanuts.
If you follow the grammar of these useful product information labels correctly you'll soon find that you will be able to enjoy some nice crunchy saltanas in your bombay mix, which must be eaten within seven days of opening - fat chance of it lasting that long round here - how about giving helpful advice on how to extract your Giant Rubber Goth Bat's head from the jar when he's dived in when you weren't looking and got stuck (for future reference a liberal coating of lard around the ears usually does the trick)

..and don't even start me on halal chocolate now available from Tesco and Asda...
