A stacked lunch
‘I work for a large insurance company and recently purchased a cheese sandwich from the staff canteen,’ says Ian Cleator, who is yet to master the technique of the arresting opening sentence.
Hang on, though, it gets better: ‘I read the label and was surprised to find that the contents listed only added up to 96 per cent. Where is the other four per cent?
‘The following day I purchased a ploughman’s sandwich and discovered it was much better value, with contents totalling 101 per cent.’
His joy was short-lived. He later bought a ham sandwich (77 per cent) and a tuna roll (95 per cent). Where has the rest of his sandwiches gone? Is this practice widespread? Check your labels at once, and let us know.
