Fucking hell!

Though, I have to admit, I prefer Daddies sauce. It's spicier.

But.. production has merely been moved abroad so, sure, people are out of work, but we'll no doubt be able to get CHEAPER HP sauce soon! Woohoo!

Heinz.

Do they own everything yet? They seem to have a habit of buying long established brand names and then fucking up the products.

or b) cost remains same, recipe is ruined by cheaper ingredients and higher profit margin ensues.

Yeah, bollocks to that.
Try Granovita Brown Sauce, it's in Tesco's and health food shops, made in UK. It's not HP but I've come to prefer it.

Awesome! What a hapy day! Now HP beans will start tasting more like crappy Heinz beans to save on costs (Yes, Heinz beans are THE WORST BEANS EVER and if you think different you need help, soon). And the Brown sauce will probably go down a similar route. Oh joy. Joyeous fucking joy of joyeous joyness! Wooty-doodly-doo! So happy I could shit, really.

Chop sauce is a prince amongst brown ones...

Sainsburies now carries Chop Down South anyway, so it's not all bad.

Fart, surely?

I have to admit I've never been an HP Sauce kindofaguy. Given that I never bought it in the first place how do I register my protest against this corporate greed?

Plus c) big lorries now have to ship it in from the continent, adding to the damage done to the road network, the congestion, and not to mention the Co2 emissions.

I went to school less than a mile from the Birmingham factory - when the wind was in the right direction, particularly in the autumn, the air was full of the smell of HP sauce. Kind of a defining memory of school for me.

So yes, add my name to the "fuck Heinz" list.
