Noticed this in Llan-dismal this morning.

So. I have insurance. VED is up to date. MOT is sorted. My car is legal.
OK?

Have I mentioned @BatLabels?

A compendium from the often silly, but always impeccably signed, One True Batman TV series.

(You could reasonably argue that many of the signs are in fact sensible. I mean, if you're going to have a facility for the emergency gassing of a cricket pavillion, then you'd better be damned sure that people aren't going to use it by mistake.)

There was a BRITISH Batman series?

I didn't have the phone with me to take a photo, but earlier this week in the petrol station there were posters everywhere advertising a new Monster energy drink:

"Calorie-Free Energy Drink"

Oh I dunno if that's ever so silly. I know sometimes I want the perk of caffiene without the attendant calories. Admittedly that's not actually energy per se.

Seems fair enough. One end for Coco Pops, the other for muesli.

But while we're on the subject, let's have supermarket signs with "solutions" in them. A microwave curry, while technically a 'meal solution', would only ever be described as such by Gus Hedges.

Tesco's in Carmarthen has an isle for 'Cereals' and another marked 'Adult Cereals'

What ?? Two whole mini-islands ? Wow.

Oops. Bugger.

I used to make muesli - most are about 10% added sugar!

Some are considerably more. Sugar is cheap and 'No Added Sugar' mueslis are often pricier than sugary ones.

"No Added Sugar" Alpen is a lie - it contains Malt Extract. It's a long time since I did chemistry, but I'm fairly sure Maltose is a Sugar.

It's also hilarious:
Alpen with sucrose-style-sugar: 378 kCal/100 g
"No Added Sugar" Alpen: 375 kCal/100 g

Thor · « **Reply #1321 on:** 09 March, 2017, 01:47:36 pm »

Perhaps it is naturally-occurring malt extract

Standard Alpen tastes unbearably sweet to me.

We buy the Lidl Luxury Fruit & Nut Muesli <rummages in cupboard> which appears to have sugar added only in the various sweetened/dried fruit contents and which also contains Barley Malt Extract,

apparently a constituent of "Toasted Malted Wheat Flakes". It still amounts to 25% sugar $:-\$

hellymedic · « **Reply #1322 on:** 09 March, 2017, 03:26:56 pm »

Most dried fruit of the raisin variety is close to 70% sugar, without any added sugar.

'Ready to eat' apricots & prunes are about 38% and, I suspect, 50% water.

Onna a UoB minibus, stopped alongside at the traffic lights:

"EMERGENCY ENGINE CUTOFF ON IGNITION KEY"

Well, yes, but...
