William McGonagall is alive and well

I'm just munching a small custard pie/tart (Bakers Over, 40p, not bad), and I've suddenly noticed that the bag it came in bears A Poem.

It begins "Early in the morning while you're sleeping/Bakers' alarms are bleep, bleep bleeping." and meanders along, containg such horrible lines as "Cakes with cream, cakes with caramel, they're so fresh you can't resist the smell."

A note at the bottom tells me it was written by a fourteen year old from Essex. I'm not sure it's his fault; I wrote some pretty horrible poetry myself aged 14. But what on earth possessed Bakers Oven to share it with the world ?

Ouch.

Less of this talk of ruining, bananas are lovely :)

I treat innocent to my opinions occasionally, and they do seem to like (and listen to) feedback - tell 'em, and they might start making a non-banananany one.

I've nothing particularly against bananas, they're just a very dominant flavour - if I buy a "mango and passionfruit" smoothie I want mango and passionfruit, not BANANA with a hint of mango and passionfruit. They should have to relabel them all "BANANA and". That'd teach 'em.
