” Back in my school days I used to make T-shirts for mates with silly little cartoons and puns etc on them. I’d completely forgotten about most of them until last week when my old pal Daniel dug out the Rolf Harris one (above). Made eleven years ago solely because of the stupid pun on the surname, recent revelations have now accidentally rendered it in such staggeringly poor taste that it’s pretty much completely unwearable. It’s also 11 years old at this stage, so I’d say it’s not that much of a loss but, either way, sorry Danny…”

Spotted in Mace in Leitrim at the weekend. I know Fyffes are irish and all … But is this a mistake by Mace. Or is this labelling “allowed” due to some loophole that means banana that are repackaged, labelled or separated and sold separately, are considered “processed in / produce of” Ireland.

Food for thought.
