He a feckin auld Tory golf knitter wearing rolls Royce driving qunt.The notion the auld fecker still goes in at 6am makes me laugh my nuts off.

BTW you supermarket buying Tunnocks arseholes should try the cakes out of their poxy unionist cake shop,you could smash bullet proof glass with their iced ginger slices and take out ISIS by dropping two Chelsea buns and half a dozen sultana scones on the beardy sandal wearing English bastards.

Let's not talk about the barely above minimum wage the absolute feckin diamond geezer Boyd pays his workers,he's a modern day Robin Hood if ye olden days Robin Hood was a qunt who overcharged his customers for crap biscuits and paid his merry men (and mostly women ) shite wages.

Do you know three (maybe four) years ago at Christmas he paid all his workers a £10 bonus for every year they had worked there ???

There was wee wifeys doing kneeslides into Corals to play the roulette machines because they got £270 extra in their wages for their 27 years of shift work.

My mother in law paid extra into her pension for the last five years before she retired from Tunnocks after 22 years service but a few weeks before she was about to retire the company it was through went tits up and she got £31 a month pension.

Well said :ok:

The 'Scottish ' brand carries a lot of weight abroad and is generally seen as a sign of quality.

Scottish whisky, Scottish salmon, Scottish beef etc.

At a time when quality brands all over Europe are desperate to have a 'local' stamp that defines a premium product....Champagne, Parma ham etc....Tunnock have decided to market themselves as generically 'British'....a rather vague outdated term..., simply because of their family's narrow-minded political beliefs.

They're entitled to do it of course, but it's rather sad and pathetic to see a traditional Scottish company effectively admit that they're ashamed to be Scottish.

Spot on fella.

This. Exactly what I was thinking.

Cringe-fest.

Am I the only Scot that has never had any of these products? I'm not a sugar fan, so don't eat sweets, cakes etc (beer sugar is fine, tho).

I'm guessing, but old Boydy is knocking on a bit now and is maybe he's fearful that he'll go to his grave minus a knighthood for services to obesity and diabeties, not to mention his promotion of the Union (which the UK's honours system seems to have carelessly overlooked). This might just be a move to push a claim in next year's honours.

You need to canvass the leaders of your whiskey,beef and salmon businesses to see if they can do the same to your football ;-) I might've just solved it for you !!!!!
