Had to laugh at an extract in Robbie Fowlers autobiography. They had finished training at Mellwood and the Liverpool team had gone into the Canteen for some food. It was a well known fact that Jason McAteer was as thick as two short planks. Robbie had got his cutlery, drink and cod and chips and was sitting at a table with some other members of the team. He wanted some condiment which was in sachets and were kept in a bowl on the counter near to where Jason Mac was standing. Fowler shouted to him " Jase chuck us some ketchup mate". Mc Ateer then said " which do you want mate Red or brown."?
It was Tiger Sauce or Tit-Bits in our house (my brother had it on everything savoury). And yes, they were both brands of brown sauce
Read somewhere that film companies pay an absolute fortune for authentic " props", so before they stopped making HP sauce in 2007 in Aston Birmingham and opening their new factory in the Netherlands, I bought a bottle and stuck it in the back of a food cupboard. Unbeknown to me, my wife came across it whilst spring cleaning and wanged it in the dustbin. Somewhere in the loft in protective dust covers I've got a copy of the newspaper once owned by Eddie Shah. It was called " Today" and was in colour and the last ever copy I have was published in 1995. I've also got every home programme from our one and only season in the Premiership, together with a report on every game in weekly copies of both the Barnsley Chronicle and the Green ' Un.
If we're being 'personal' each bottle has a different name of course. My current current bottle is called Valerie. I bet you call all Chinese people the same name too. Racist.
