You can't show your flags, we can't eat our favoured dish.... What is the world coming to...
you can't show you flags and we can't (won't) eat our deep fired mars bars...

Newsagent Shaz Shafiq, 28, who runs two shops in Edinburgh and Dalkeith, said he had experienced a slump in sales since the Believe Mars were introduced.
He said: "People are just coming in and I looking at them and turning away.
"Mars are probably one of the top sellers normally. I have actually not bought any at i all this week so it's made a big difference.
"We probably go through about two or three boxes a week usually."
Robbie Mortali, 33, who owns Mortali's newsagent in Dundee, even tracked down a supplier who sold the old bars because he didn't want to risk losing custom.
He said: "Mars is a good seller and I didn't think the Believe ones would sell."
One fan, called Zed, vented his fury by calling for a boycott on an internet football forum. He said: "Someone had a look at sales in Scotland and pressed the panic button methinks. Still boycott them I say."
Another fan said: "As if their whole ad campaign to support England included Scotland's bid for the 2010 World Cup ... yeah, right. Anyone for deep fried Kit-Kat?"
