Um, WTF?

Spotted this in Tesco there when the Irish Pork was recalled. This simply doesn't make sense:



The 'Scottish Pork' was a sticker as opposed to being printed onto the thing - So this product was lying in the past? The mind boggles!

Wouldn't expect any less from them dirty English b*stards

Oh, the dirty rascals.. They'd probably get around it by saying the recipe is Irish, not the ingredients, but we all know they were pulling a fast one!

Is the "Scottish Pork" another name for Hamlet? That was a work of fiction too.

I don't use Tesco, in deference to their ridiculous price differential between here and the UK

Do you shop in ANY shop that also trades abroad?

If not that really only leaves shops that are more expensive anyway (but hey, at least they arent sellign stuff cheaper to some foreigners ,eh)

And your point is? You think that just cause you havent updated your pics onto your pc it makes it new news?

Talking about false advertising, I was in Supervalu the other week and noticed Big Als are selling a bag of 4 Quarter Pounder burgers.
Thats all well and good, until I noticed the weight of it was 408g.
Now 1 pound = 454g, and 4 quarters = 1. So WTF?!

Thanks OP for reminding me about this, cos I meant to send a very aggressive e-mail to Big Al himself about this.

You do realise;

(a)That Tesco is by far the worst offender in its sector regarding pricing discrepancy between here and the UK?

(b)That Mata Harney told us to shop around, so we're only doing our patriotic duty?

(c)That anyone thinking that Tesco is the cheapest in their sector deserves to pay more, right?

Better to lie down and take it between the cheeks though, eh?

Everyone is banging on about pork..let it go already.

If you want to worry about something read the label on your sausages tomorrow...some of yee are buying sausages with less than 50% pork :eek: do you lot never wonder just what makes up that other 50%?

Example: 2 suppliers selling sausages and one small supplier charges almost double for a 16lb box of sausages. Another supplier can sell you a box for €12 frozen.

So i ask the small guy why? the other guys sausages don't taste all that bad after all. He said no problem, he could get me the same sausages, but he prefers to put the saw dust off the floor in the bin .

So forget about Irish, Scottish or Dutch bacon, and read the ingredients!

Wow, just wow. If you're on the rag go be cranky at someone else. Congrat's, you've just made my ignore list

On a final note (as I won't see any more posts from you), the reason I uploaded the pic was NOT to bring back the Pork issue, but rather to point out that something was for sale in Tesco and the main selling point (ie. biggest text) had said IRISH in it so people thought they were buying local produce. Then the local produce goes up in t1ts and they're quick to point out the fact that it's NOT Irish pork, eventhough their previous selling point was that it WAS Irish

Kiera - You're too serious for AH, get out while you can! Politics forum is that way ====>
