    I recently found out that Lay's owns Walkers. I thought that their logos were similar and crisps tasted similar but didn't really think anything of it. What a crazy world we live in.

    I wonder if Gary Spinnaker knows this.

    Probably not.

    He seems to know **** all about anything.

    I suddenly have a craving for this. No real Hogmanay in the 70's and 80's was complete without it.

    Is it because they couldn’t have a Walls factory in London/Derry ?
