It's so strange - maybe because i'm a "Soft Suthern Nancie" as a Yorkshireman I know described me once (despite the fact I was with a girlfriend at the time) that the idea of actually advertising LARD seems so funny !

It reminds me of a documentary in the 1980's about food  - one old chap actually said :

"Chips are good for yer .......there's a lot o' Vitamins in Chips"

 

Was he the designer of this sign ?

A friend of mine managed to ahve a meal the other day with 3 types of chips!

In fact that's all he really eats with the odd burger so they can't be that bad.
