A nice little idea for anyone to get their name up in lights in Brum or indeed anyone else you think deserves it.

Following on from the decision of Heinz to close down the profitable factory in Birmingham that produces HP sauce I decided to do what little I can as a consumer and completely boycott Heinz products. So far the stock is down to half a bottle of HP, half a bottle of red sauce and a couple of tins of soup.
But of course one consumers actions aren’t exactly going to make a difference to such a large corporation so here goes. I’m urging everyone to show their loyalty to British workers who have produced an iconic and bloody lovely tasting product in Birmingham that takes its name from our own Parliament to stop buying Heinz products.
For those of an interwebnet persuasion I’ve even come up with a little banner that you can plonk on your site. Feel free to copy it or contact me for the original for which you are free to alter in whatever way you like.
Oh, and why hasn’t someone come up with window and car stickers in the same theme? Unfortunately the Penguin budget doesn’t run to this but I’d proudly stick one in my window if there’s anyone out there who wants to produce them.
