] Date Posted: 18:27:41 12/13/04 Mon In reply to: Paddy (Scotland) 's message, "Britain & Ireland" on 22:56:18 12/09/04 Thu WHAT? Tayto belong to Walkers? When the hell did that happen? That is quite possibly the ultimate insult. By the way, Tayto are (were) Northern Irish, hence British anyway, and as Walkers is owned by Pepsi the paper trail now leads all the way back to the USA. Now Golden Wonder - they're British (hell, only we could actually choose the only potato thought unfit for making crisps to make crisps out of). As for the others mentioned, how many of their paper trails lead back to the USA? I suspect that the closer you look the more you'll find that the anglification of Ireland (which has been going on since the dawn of time anyway) is now much more the americanisation of Ireland by proxy (via the "British" companies they own.

Since all of these places are Crown Realms, perhaps there is hope for us yet. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 02:36:28 12/14/04 Tue Hmm, I never thought about that. Let's tax 'em! I'd say 101 pence in the pound sounds fair, don't you? ;-) [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 23:46:24 12/14/04 Tue I would agree with you in principle, but since my family's position is based on just such shenanigans as these, I'm going with personal interest and keeping the tax at 5% flat rate, thanks! Actually, I think they've recently put it up to 10% on the Isle of Man: shocking, this trend of socialist legislation... is nothing sacred? Not even tax-dodging? ;-) [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
