Did we buy Tesco?
I have to say that this viking takeover is imminent, or perhaps it has already happened..I went to the lovely Tesco Metro today in order to buy ingredients for a new curry experiment, which was an absolute success... fry chicken with salt and mild curry powder. Add cream and mango chutney. Boil rice. Eat and enjoy... That was a slight detour, so now back to the story. I bought Tilda Basmati rice at Tesco. I start reading the instructions, because although I am a pretty decent cook, boiling rice always puzzles me somewhat. Aow shite, that was another detour. I swear it is true, I am one of those intolerable people who destroy good stories...an example: Friend: "Did you know what happened to Anna? She was at home, just reading a book and three guys broke into her house and beat the living crap out of her". Me: "Noooo, really? Which book was she reading?"... So, again, back to the story. I am reading the instructions and they just were so, well understandable. I rub my eyes in surprise and yes, they are in Icelandic! It said on the packet "Made in Great Britain", well in Icelandic of course. So my question is, have we bought Tesco or Tilda or have we perhaps gone and bought Britain itself this time around? Ha ha ha, the British thought they had kicked us out for good in 1066, but no my friends. We seem to be back, but this time we're not killing some Celtic dudes with broad swords and burning Christian churches, no no no. This time we're back with with modern viking weapons, called Nasdaq and FTSE.
Lobster and Fame and then we ride to Asgard!!!
