Tell me it isn't so.......(from a Quarter of)
whatever happened to texan bars?Remember the advert on TV? A Clint Eastwood style cowboy in a spot of bother, captured by some sombrero wearing outlaws. One asks the cowboy, "A last request gringo?"
The cowboy asks for a Texan bar. He chews on it laconically (love that word!) and it takes him so long to eat it that the baddies fall asleep and he escapes!
"Texan... sure is a mighty chew."
Texans made a very brief, limited edition re-appearance in 2005 but we fear they have now gone for good.

They're not twice as much. It's the same for some quantities, slightly more for others.

Same with my youngest.
However, my local primary school doesn't allow sweets on the premises and the kids can't take sweets in when it's their birthday any more.
Like I said, I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing, just another tradition that's gone.

I know, these schools should just concentrate on teaching rather than banning what the pupils they can and cannot eat. They shouldn't teach religion then, look how good thats is for you.
Dead right, we could eat what we wanted at school and we didn't turn out to be a fat bastards.
