Boys need far more firm male role models in their lives. (However, with the virtual abolishment of punishment, I haven't a clue how you achieve this!)

The plural of "virus" should be "viri". "Viruses" just sounds wrong.

"An intriguing fact about ketchup is that it stimulates all five, known palatable senses of salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami. It unleashes the complete taste experience, starting at the tip of our tongue where we detect salty and sweet tastes, after which it moves to the sides of the tongue, where the sourness is detected and finally towards the back of the tongue where bitterness and umami are detected. Wow! No wonder we can’t get enough of ketchup!"

"Shake, o shake the ketchup bottle.
First none will come
And then a lot'll."

Generally attributed to Ogden Nash. It doesn't sound as good when you say catsup, does it? To my ears, catsup is what I'm likely to find on the doorstep after the moggie has ....... naah, let's move on swiftly....

Umami is imaginary and a load of buzzcocks.

I'm fine with HP Original (especially with a bacon butty or cheese toastie), but not those "fruity" brown sauces

Brown sauce needs tamarinds. If it doesn't have tamarinds in it, it shouldn't be called brown sauce.

Wine in restaurants is grossly overpriced

EVERYTHING in restaurants is grossly overpriced Shirley. Honestly, £18 for a bit steak you can buy in Waitrose for six quid? OUTRAGEOUS.

According to my eldest son, who is in the restaurant business, there is not a great margin on steaks. If you go into a restaurant and order a plain steak and a glass of water, they won't like you very much.

Restaurants make more money on starters, desserts and drinks than on main courses. The highest margin item (i.e. the worst deal for the diner) is pizza where the profit margin can be over 90%. Which might explain why there are so many pizza joints on every high street.

Ah but how much does it cost to source, store, and cook steak compared with wine.
What about the shelf life ?
A 1972 wine will probably sell for more than a 1972 steak

And yes, pizzas are just staggeringly overpriced 'cheese on toast'
