Don;t worry I won't
They should not do it then, how much faith are the public to have in a government that changes its mind at the drop of a hat?

Absolutely fair point - regardless of which party - damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I'd rather a government that can admit they've made a mistake and change their mind than one which sticks to its guns and pursues a policy when it's the wrong thing to do and the great majority of the public are opposed to it. Give me an open minded government that isn't afraid of doing u-turns over one which refuses to and takes old Thatcher's "the lady's not for turning" view

AFAIK, a pasty tax was not part of the Tory election manifesto and I wouldn't have thought it was a policy or even part of one - I assumed it was simply a sticking plaster stratagem to fund holes in the government's budget by bashing the working-classes ..... the current government appears to lack either the intention or the ability to think things though .....

(Apologies for hi-jacking your previous comment ..... )

If people want to seriously complain about it: go out, buy all the ingredients, make it all from scratch, cook it, watch over it whilst it cooks, clean up the mess afterwards: then you'll see what a bargain hot food is.

The stance being taken about foods being allowed to cool down: now - that opens up all sorts then: ie; cooked chickens that sold in supermarkets, etc - but allowed to cool before being sold etc - are they cheaper that the ones that come straight from the roasting spit? I don't think they are?

Pizza isn't chav food, and I don't buy cheap

If you enjoy your cat**** pasties from Greggs I won't hold it against you.

Don't kid yourself it was public pressure, it was pressure from the businesses affected.

If I wish to regard the typical standard of pizzas available in fast food joints as chav food... I shall do so. Good to hear that you don't buy cheap, but I didn't say you did.

I don't like pasties at all. In fact, I cannot stand pasties, they are disgusting.

If pizza is chav food then Greggs is Heathen food.

Where are you obtaining this information that you are so very certain of this, to be telling others ''Don't kid yourself''?

That's your perogative - not everyone likes the same food stuffs - hot or cold, Greggs, Pizza, KFC or even ''Heathen Foods'' as you state. Different folks: different strokes and all that.

Indeed they don't, but it is what it is.

I didn't realised the word chav is now used to describe "things I don't like". Hmm...

The word has such a diluted meaning these days it can be pretty much used for anything.

Just asked you a question Kizzy, using your very own words, no inciteful attitude, and no baiting whatsoever - I used your words - yours.

What's the source of your information that you can be so sure of what you stated earlier?

You're only a chav if you actually buy anything, those are the rules. Unfortunately some of my friends still enjoy their cat**** pasties
