Yes - as if there's anything worng with deep fried Mars bars anyway 

I understand that to be fully enjoyed it should be accompanied by a bottle of Buckfast (or two)

Dear Lapsed,

Yes, very true, a deep fried mars bar can only be appreciated with a fine glass of Buckie, served at room temperature, but a deep fried curly wurly should only be accompanied by a chilled glass of Buckie, ya stereotyping English person that you are, mods suspend his ass, preferably from Tower Bridge

No it isn't. The population of the Earth will stabilise naturally during the next century

Will it? Congratulations on developing psychic powers, must be nice for you.

The carrot you are talking about is us killing the excess population.

No. The carrot is trying to encourage people to want to have fewer children.

The stick is measures that are enforced on people that they don't willingly choose in order to keep down an out-of-control population.

.

Yes.

And the best way to do this is by ensuring that all girls receive an adequate education.

You seem to have missed the phrase:

He also blamed "aggressive overseas competition".

Ha ha. I knew somebody would try that one on. Did you not bother to read the sentence before which stated:

Managing director Michael Flynn said it was mainly due to "the English bag legislation and corresponding impact on customer and retailer demand"

No psychic powers needed. Population has already stabilised in most developed countries. It wouldn't be going up in the UK without immigration.

No. The carrot is trying to encourage people to want to have fewer children.

Always a good idea. How did it go in China and India?

The stick is measures that are enforced on people that they don't willingly choose in order to keep down an out-of-control population.

Population control measures don't seem to work or have other unwanted side effects. It would be far better to manage resources to cope.

Dear Trent,

Tis funny I am trying to make old Berational read up on what a Myth is, sadly the old mars bar Myth, there is a truth in there somewhere

Gonnagle.

Frying a Mars bar might enhance the work, rest and play ingredients, I wouldn't know.  My husband goes to Mars regularly (no word of a lie), and has never brought me back a Mars bar as a souvenir.  Mean old git  .

They aren't very nice, deep fried or not.

But then there is the quote:

One worker told BBC Radio Lancashire they believed the legislation had a "slight but not a massive impact" on the business, which has been operating since 1975 and was taken over by Cheshire-based packaging firm Intelipac three years ago.

either way, if foreign competition was a factor, it means that those foreign firms must still be very much in production!

[Harrowby Hall]

They aren't very nice, deep fried or not.

And they are very small, too. In their bid to be able to continue with their occasional "4 for £1" offers Mars has continually reduced the size. Tesco and Lidl both do copycat products that are almost indistinguishable fro Mars Bars but cheaper, too.

So I now know where to buy bigger, cheaper versions of something I don't like.

What's wrong with the Welshman and longbow law?
