It took several days for this major story to get past the Great Firewall of Karen but, guys, sit down before you read this shattering story…
Precis: Irn-Bru maker AG Barr cuts ties with Russian market… Based in architectural paradise Cumbernauld, the company said “Given the actions of the Russian state, we will not fulfil any further orders to this market.” …before going on to reveal that this bold move could erode “0.1% of group turnover”
Speaking from deep within her hideout constructed entirely of cans of Dr. Pepper, our sources report that Maria Zakharova commented: “… Nicola Sturgeon has played this card with immense skill but we have complete control of the Lviv Ribena factory. So there’s that.” And stuck her tongue out.
Hi @Kieran_Telo , I’ve never heard of Cumbernauld before it looks like a Titus Groan creation and is actually billed as having a moving style : “brutalist” - YCMTU!
I hadn’t either until it ended up listed at number two in the original IdlerCrap Towns survey (Hull was number one).
A subsequent poll (not by The Idler this time) saw Dover at #1 which is harsh, but not wholly unfair. I suspect lots of hooky votes from Gravesend and in any case the Bronze Age boat in Dover museum (miles better than crappy old Mary Rose) wouldn’t have even been found were it not for the pressing need for another charming underpass.
