Title: Needlers
Post by: on February 13, 2005, 12:20:41 pm
My girlfriend remembers these and I sort of do too.  I think they made chocolate.  Did they or have we made the whole thing up in a night of Valentine's lover's dizzyness?  If they did make chocolate, can anyone remember anything they made?

Needlers bars are sometimes available in Farmfoods.


They do a caramel one, a mint one and aTurkish Delight.


I also think they do a packet of choc caramels.


The bars were 5 for £1.00.

Ah farmfoods eh?  If I can fight past the homeless people and single mothers, I might take a look.

Paulham goes to Farmfoods. He is not homeless or a single mother and I am 99.9% certain he doesn't smell of wee.

Bounty, that was a thoughtless and offensive remark and made you sound like a smug, middle-class twat!


Needlers have been around for years. Jelly products, boiled sweets and cheap chocolates etc.

Thoughtless and offensive? Maybe - but I used to go to Farmfoods in Beeston, which I'm guessing is the branch Bounty uses, and there is an element of truth in it...

It's not single mothers and homeless people I find offensive, it's the dismissive attitute towards them shown by Bounty. If they were shopping in Harrods he'd be accusing them of living the high life at his expense.  


Not only that, but when he's in there himslef, how is he being characterised by others???

Ooh Oldspice you take me FAR too seriously.  I am an observer of man and the farmfoods comment was a caricature.  I am well aware that these stores, like Kwiksave provide a convenient place for many people to shop.  Do not judge me by my satire.

I shop in a variety of stores, including Kwik Save, Farmfoods, Waitrose and M&S so I guess I cover all the income brackets. I take your point about your humour Bounty and I am the last one who should be critical because I am known for my cruel jibes at the Royals.

What is the difference between Prince Charles and a coconut?


One's thick and hairy and the other one's a coconut.

The Royals and a bag of sh*te?


You can find a use for a bag of sh*te.

I do actually like Farmfoods too, so I'm sorry if I offended anyone - I just remember there was someone exactly like Salsa described (wandering about in his slippers) used to go to our local one!
