    Don't buy Tesco ketchup.  I succumbed to getting it as it's cheaper than Heinz.  And as ketchup it's fine but it's in a squeezy bottle and it's impossible to squirt out just a small amount.  You have to realllllly squeeze it and then it shoots out a massive amount - and usually not where you want it.

    M&S ketchup is cheap too but not as nice as Heinz.  
    How do you get a small amount out of a non squeezy bottle?

    The best ketchup I've ever had was from the company that do the tiny jams... I think it's rowntrees, I'll find the name...

    For free, non-judgemental debt advice, try: Stepchange or National Debtline. Beware fee charging companies with similar names.

    Mine is just like the old days, so thick it won't come out, then a slap on its bottom gives a gallon of it on your chips :o
