I wish to thank the Shed for educating me on the fact that Worchester Shireshire sauce has anchovies in it. you learn something every day . Not necessarily anything beneficial or useful but you do learn something every day.

The story runs: some guy brought a recipe in to Lea and Perrins and
asked them to make up a quantity, singing its praises.

When tried, it was more than disappointing and the sauce just lay in
barrels in L&P's cellar.

It was decided to ditch the stuff after space was required for other
goods, but fortunately, it was tried again before this sentence was
carried out, and it was found that the maturation time had allowed all
the flavours to meld into something rather special, but the person who
brought the recipe to be made up (conveniently?) couldn't be found.

Watery soy sauce indeed!

This is correct.
A violin has no frets whilst a fiddle is fretless.
It is important to maintain the distinction between the two.

Previously known as sweet and sour crisps - but they didn't sell well
until they changed the name - but not the flavour :-)

Packaging, flavour and namings are just associations we tend to accept

There was this cartoon , it showed a female elephant with a ladder up her back and a guy was climbing the ladder and he had his pants down and there was a male elephant in the corner of the room and the man says to the male elephant "now you watch carefully , I'm only gonna show you this once."

I remember when a lad, and esso extra came out, my father asked the
petrol station man, how it was superior, the man said that it was like
the difference between plain and ordinary stout.

`Extra' had lead added, and was phased out.
