'Jellybabygate' blog discussion

Errata

It's never a good idea to mix business with pleasure. It's also never a good idea for the boss to blame the workies when he's clearly at fault.

It'll certainly teach MSE Guy not to leave his sweets within your reach!

Ok; so let's get this straight.

1. Lunch Skipping
So being aware that you were going on the radio, you decided that skipping lunch was a good idea did you? At 7:30am, you could have made yourself a sandwich and when MSE Guy was setting everything up and offering round the JB's, you could have declined with dignity and had your tuna mayo on 50/50 instead.

2. Mummy, can I have jelly babies for lunch too?
Ha!! You hadn't thought of that!!! Your lunchtime chats with Mr Vine are listened to by many a mother (or father) looking after their small children. The future moneysavers are learning their trade by their exposure to the truth at an early age. Your lack of willpower now means that hundreds, nay, thousands of children across the UK will believe that if it's ok for Martin to have jelly babies for lunch WHILST BEING INTERVIEWED then that's good enough for me too. Think of the bills you have created for those unable to find a decent NHS dentist!

3. Bassett's new advert
And there we have it! Bassett's can now argue that their jelly babies are endorsed by MSE and you get no royalties!! Is this moneysaving? I think not!!

4. Thief!
You clearly indicate in your blog that MSE Guy passed round the jelly babies and the took the bag with him when he began setting everything up. He moved the bag slightly to make room for the gear required FOR YOUR INTERVIEW and you took the opportunity to STEAL one of his jelly babies. There can be no defence to this; you admit the crime in your blog!!

5. No more jelly baby gates for you
No! I say "No!" to this awful pun and use of child safety equipment in your blog titles (and I bet you forgot to get sponsorship from Mothercare). You have failed in your moneysaving role by your inability to spot (admittedly ludicrous) opportunities to raise funds, confessed to a crime and caused potential disaster for the future of our country's dental health! No more baby gates for you, Mr Lewis!! I think we all know that where you're going the bars are much stronger (and I don't mean you're off to the pub to get your free pint of IPA).

Shame on you, Mr Lewis. Shame!!!

EVERYONE SHOULD ENJOY A JELLY BABY EVERY DAY!!

At least there are no artificial colours!!!

If the "anti-artificial brigade" knew about where their dyes come from, they might not be so keen on "natural" products anymore! :rotfl:

What I'd like to know is did Guy have any jelly babies with him today for the London Marathon, and how did the MSE team of runners do?
