There is uproar in Brimingham at the suggestion that Heinz may move production of that most British of sauces, HP, to Holland. What an outrageous suggestion! This is a British icon we are talking about. It has a drawing of the House of Parliament on the label. (If they move it to Holland will they put a picture of the Tweede Kamer on the label?!) Our 'Arold was so fond of it they called it "Wilson's gravy".
I suspect we may have here another clever ploy. Threaten to stop or move production of something. Vast publicity. Dignified climb-down followed by hugely increased sales due to the publicity. Heinz themselves did it with their salad cream.
