No, really!

Believe it or not, Sainsburys do a good one: as part of their Basics range.

It’s … 

Quite nice.

I’ll tell you one thing, though.

They should maybe rebrand it as pipe-cleaner.

Mostly because it’s got two very good qualities.   It’s VERY high fibre.

And, BOY, but it makes you move … !

And this thought … 

“I grew up in Houston, and I remember we had separate drinking fountains, and black people sat in the balcony of the theater… We had an African-American housekeeper growing up who was really like my second mother.   I thought it was silly - hatred just because of the color of somebody’s skin.”

Houstonian, Dennis Quaid.

Have a good day …
