more importantly are you going to boycott HP brown sauce?

In June 2005, Heinz purchased the parent company, HP Foods, from Danone [1]. However, in October of that year, the UK Office of Fair Trading referred the takeover to the Competition Commission [2], who gave go-ahead for the £440m acquisition in April 2006 [3].

In May 2006, Heinz announced plans to switch production of HP Sauce from Aston to its European sauces facility in Elst, Holland, prompting a boycott of all Heinz products by many people in Birmingham.

apprantly some rival company is trying to steal the houses of parliament pic to use on theirs.they reckon HP will no longer have the right to use that picture if the sauce isnt made in UK.

You`re not missing much Jeff-apart from sleep,do you ever go to bed? What time is it there,about 2.30am?

bloody multi-nationals think they can do what they pleas with icon products.

as long as its still brown - - No.

Key facts about HP sauce:

1 - HP stands for Houses of Parliament 2 - 'Gartons' is Snotrag spelt backwards 3 - Er... 4 - That's it

Nothing tops Lea & Perrins Tomato and Worcester Table Sauce.

Actually, does 'Big' Frank Bruno still work for HP?

He might have something to say about this...

I probably *should* know this beings involved in PA politics (which basically was started by the Heinz family a gazillion years ago), but is Heinz still HQ'd in Pittsburgh?
