Mum! Dad! Look what I found!!!
I found it in bulk! At that Aligro store we bought your knife sharpener at. BULK! I guess I’m set for a year or so. I once asked somebody who commutes from London to bring some to Switzerland. He pooh-poohed my request: “HP sauce! HP sauce! That’s what peasants put on their chips!” I don’t …
