    Well I don't think this is good! One of the best things about bacons is the water froths into the pan and makes a lovely smokey fatty emulsion which you can then dip a lovely slice of fresh cut bread in and eat whilst the bacon is cooking, just fat doesn't go far enough and leaves to bread too dry!

    The EU, as ever can take their meat and put it where the sun don't shine (Scandinavia)

    You're free to add your own water afte you've bought the bacon.....wierdo!

    I love how the bacon industry were moaning about it, pretty much "wah, wah, but water is free so we'll make less money if we can't increase the weight with water".

    Speaking of which, I had a very tasty bacon (with added water) sandwich this morning, as a reward for cycling in two days on the trot :D

    No no no no no, this is the kind of thinking thati expect from a man sitting in a mansion eating quails eggs poached in swans blood

    firstly the water wouldn't have the same smokey taste.

    Secondly if you take the water out of bacon the price goes up. If you put the price of bacon up, because of the structuring of breakfast prices, greasy spoon cafes will then put the price of all breakfast items in line with the increase in bacon. A knock on from this is that poor people will not be able to afford their full English anymore and angered by this force a general election. This will result in the BNP and EDL who saw the opportunity to become political forming a coalition as people were angered by the government standing up to the eu bacon rule which made breakfast prohibitively expensive. The new PM will be named as Jim Davidson with Jo O'meara from S Club 7 as chancellor. The first law will be that all tv will be replaced by a loop of "Big Break" and S Clubs greatest hits and all houses will be painted White and red.

    See you need to think of these implications

    Ahem, if I'm rich then what does that make you, Mr Millionaire! I would have never thought there would be such a big market for those videos you're in....takes all sorts. Speaking of which, when are you going back to Amsterdam..... :wink:

    I think that will be enough for me to set up a band of rebels (and who in a band wouldn't want to rebel against S Club!?) and then we can take over Downing Street and burn Davidson at the stake.

    Harsh, but fair.

    Sorry, not harsh, the other one......funny. For the first time in his life.

    Not that it would happen, you need opposable thumbs to hold the pencil in the voting booth, which rules out a lot of EDL/BNP fans :wink:

    they probably took advice from

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    I have 10 days with the freaky welsh weaning myself back on to bikes, hopefully it'll be healed up by then. I'll be back in good old England on the 29th

    Well then, you'll just have to be one of the very few dummasses that lowers yourself to buying the "bacon with added water" to have your boiled bread while the rest of us can enjoy good quality meat.

    If only the EU had a directive that my kind of meat (ie beaver) must have less water/fat content or be labelled as "bulked out" :D
