Ethical Companies – The Blog

As you may recall, I went for an interview in London this Wednesday just gone.  I went in plenty of time, and thought I’d walk from Euston Station to where the interview was being held, and en route grab myself some lunch.  The interview was just off Theobalds Road so I found myself in the Holborn/Southampton Row sort of area.  I did contemplate a McDonald’s (I must have been hungry) but it was packed out and I didn’t fancy standing in a queue with a heavy bag (laptop etc) for 20 minutes, followed by nowhere to sit.  Then I decided wanted a sandwich, and I just fancy something simple, like cheese and onion or egg and cress….

Hmmm, so I looked at Pret A Manger, Itsu and a couple of other places.  I looked at Subway (somehow Subway just doesn’t “do it” for me, I don’t know, I just never like the look of it.)  I even look in a couple of newsagents in the chiller cabinet ….  Sigh, coronation chicken in pitta bread, houmous and rocket salad, and weird combinations.  When I finally found cheese and onion it had sodding mayonnaise in it.  When I want CHEESE AND ONION I just want, bread, butter, cheese, onion.  That’s why it’s called “cheese and onion”.  Mayonnaise does not belong in a cheese and onion sandwich, end of ….

I never did get any lunch.  Spotted a chippy on the way out, should have gone in there.  Couldn’t be any worse than some of the chip shops up my way (Stoke On Trent).
