Bill,
I did read that one word couldn't be copyrighted, so I'm not exactly worried . . . Anyway I'm giving them unexpected publicity
& looking forward to a monthly supply for the rest of my life. My cousin on my father's side, Clement Alpert, lived thru 104 years so . . .
"Small Batch" hasn't become an utter cliche for me yet versus "MASS PRODUCED". I needed 4 phrases to add to the crescendo of 4 phrases concocted by the manufacturer for the back of the package, once I realized amidst composition that I could call the whole gathering by the very British term "SONNET": "1540"! 14 lines, stanzas 6 by 8.
Barry
Sheila,
Pleased to learn of your close connection to "Brit chips". Plus your diction "madly crazy", "superb!", & "great!". My source Rodman's stocks many products manufactured by "Walker's" so I'll try their chips when next in front of my eyes. But this was the first time I've ever seen "BURTS", despite regularly hearing my grandfather's Liverpool/Manchester/London accent. Barry
