It incurs a de-merit point like Face furniture Green hair Tattoos White socks Cuban heels Cowboy boots Baseball caps Hawaiian shirts Shell suits Drinking brown ale Liking Chilean wine Being a Trekkie Watching soaps Being a Strictly fan Collecting comics Eating any English bottled sauce Living on Take Away food Etc. Hm. I believe I own a baseball cap and a pair of white socks, though it's years since I've worn either and they would have been clothing I was given, rather than that I bought. So unless "face furniture" applies to wearing glasses (which would be a very odd thing to hand out demerits for), I probably miss out on all of your demerit categories except preferring the standard English use of -ise over the standard American use of -ize. Which, to be honest, I find horribly disappointing.
That was intended as just a bit of fun and a mild wind-up to chosen targets GC. Ignore it. I prefer the 'Correct', the original and the better 'ize' ending, as does the OUP and Inspector Morse. |

carlton43 I love HP sauce , tomato ketchup and Chilean merlot And if you are moving to Sheffield you are going to have to like Hendo's! Is Carlton moving to God's Own Country?? Sheff Hallam no less, I believe. |

Ise versus ize is purely a question of style and preference. It incurs a de-merit point like Face furniture Green hair Tattoos White socks Cuban heels Cowboy boots Baseball caps Hawaiian shirts Shell suits Drinking brown ale Liking Chilean wine Being a Trekkie Watching soaps Being a Strictly fan Collecting comics Eating any English bottled sauce Living on Take Away food Etc.

What do you think old chap? If the smell doesn't revolt you then I suppose you are not too concerned about the effect on the taste of the meal? HP sauce makes a humble sausage butty into the food of the heavens. No. It’s a poor man’s tomato ketchup. Not that I eat either of them on rolls and sausage. Plenty of butter is all you need. |

Bacon sandwiches always require brown sauce. HP I like but they've stopped making my favourite - Hammonds Chop Sauce. However Lidl's own brand is identical so think they may make it for them
Hendo's is excellent. I prefer it to Worcestershire sauce.

I'm a fan of A1 Sauce- much less thick than HP, which can be annoying, but goes excellently with barbecued stuff, on corned beef sandwiches and so on.

Yes indeed, Hendo's is far superior to Worcestershire sauce but a bit hard to find in West Yorkshire for some reason 🤔 (sometimes available in Morrison's but I do not shop there often) |

I agree wholeheartedly to the point of eugenic consideration with all but the last 2, with the caveats of Brown sauce on bacon and most of what I eat in Fife in the evening is sold as takeaway, but of course I dont take it away, nor pay for it. I just take their kids skating, do Parents nights, go to zoos, decorate their house etc. |
