Hee hee Al, one pays extra for added arsenic.

Does anyone know when this proposed merger is due to take place?

I'm so ancient I remember just after the War my mother, with me in tow, used to shop at Sainsbury's, which was then just a large grocer's. There were marble counters, and a lady used to serve one with butter using wooden butter pats. It was wrapped in grease-proof paper. I particularly liked the red bacon-slicing machine. The lady slammed a huge side of bacon on to the spikes. One selected the thickness from a series of lines, and the lady turned the handle while the thing shot to and fro. She caught the slices in her hand, and yet more grease-proof paper was used to wrap it up. I was an evil little monster and hoped against hope she'd slice her hand.
