Does anyone else remember Jamaica Patties?

[Fangirl Three]

Yes indeed. I bought one from a branch of Roy's of Wroxham in 1997.

Nanette Newman is credited as a vocalist on t'Rolling Stones' Country Honk.

Sinéad O'Conner grassed Shane MacGowan up to the rozzers!

I knew both those things.

Delia Smith made the cake on the cover of Let It Bleed too.

O'Skinhead did it because she thought it would help him with his addictions.

I probably knew the Nanette one, but I'd forgotten until I'd slapped on a copy of Let It Bleed onto the turntable.

I have decided, I don't really like the Rolling Stones. In general, the odd song, yes, but as a general sound/songs nope.

The Honda Jazz car was originally going to be called the Honda Fitta, but "Fitta" in Scandinavian languages is slang for v****a, so Honda instead used "Jazz" in most markets and "Fit" in the Americas.
