...what a difference a lunch makes!

You know how I said nothing was happening in the world? Well a: I didn't mean it literally, obviously! and b: well i've just had lunch and read my paper to find that the HP sauce factory here in Birmingham is to close! This is the end of yet another era for Birmingham. HP has been synonymous with the city for over a century and its factory a landmark on the M6 approach. HP sauce was bought by Heinz last year and from now on it will be made in a factory in Holland. After the loss of MG Rover and now HP, let's hope Cadbury isn't the next to go!
