That's why they put that bracelet on you. So this kind of thing wouldn't cause another incident where the police had to be involved and you scare another family by mistaking their home for yours.

Mr T was a reoccurring character on the teletext gaming pages called digitiser in the 90's and early 2000's, he was troubled by kids hanging out by his bins. It was all a bit weird funny

So to continue with my sandwich reviews.

I had a spiced humous & falafel wrap from Morrisons earlier. Not the usual thing I'd go for but I fancied a change.

The packaging was the usual standard, not bad. It was fresh so what more can you expect.
The wrap itself was presented as expected, so no disappointment there. However. As much as I Iike humous, with crisps, it's just not something I'd have on a sandwich. The filler, as you ask, was diced carrot and summat else, which was equally unappealing.

I added ground pepper (think of Nigella), and a bit of lemon as I thought that might add to the flavour. But it didn't.

A very sad, 4/10.

I always shy away from supermarket wraps - homemade ones are lovely but they always look like the filling is in the centre so that when cut it & displayed it looks full, but the top and bottom are like wet A4.
Was the filling of a consistent thickness throughout?

You'll need a spoiler for explaining what a magazine is.

Also, teletext in general. holy crap is that old.

I won a TV when I was a kid, first model in Denmark (from B&O) with Teletext. That was just awesomesauce, I spent hours reading random stuff there.

Danish TV had a single channel back then, and when there wasn't anything on, we had a saltwater aquarium going with a clock sometimes imposed over it. The good old days.

After a short negotiation with my dad, the new TV was allowed in the living room rather than my own room, as it was a huge 26" TV that we could all easily fit around and it looked a bit silly in my room. The price to let the move happen was that I got a Commodore 64, which I bought Elite for with money I had earned by collecting bottles and returning to supermarkets.

The good old days.

Do you know if it was live or not?
I recently learnt that the bbc logos were physical objects rather than recordings as it was too expensive / complicated to have recordings.
This is the "noddy camera" that was manoeuvred to select the image.

And this is the famous spinning globe with mirror.

Chances are the Danish fishtank was a live one.

This is a very important question. Not just for this sandwich but sandwiches in general. There was consintency. Sadly, that was part of the problem.
