Spuds to die for

Just browsing through the Sapro varieties of spud and came across this.

You may have to read carefully, but to give you a clue, the typo is quite big.

Sarpo Una
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Well spotted DD - presumably they are the perfect ammo for spud guns, although not sure how lethal...  :unsure:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Probably not very, but they could take your eye out. (See what I did there?)

I thought that was a new addition to the M&S Per Una range of clothing!  :lol: :( >:(
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Well spotted DD! Had to look twice for that!

But why is a spud called a 'Una', when it does two things?

And why does it run after a baker at the end? Does it have yet another roll in life?

(I just thought I'd chip in before getting my coat...)

Um, is it me or have I read it wrong because the name Sarpo is correct. I would not recommend anyone to eat Sapropots unless you really really wanted to give someone a jolly good roasting! Mr G, what are the two things that a spud does apart from being used to stick up the exhaust pipe of a newly-married couple or being cut in half, etched out in various patterns then dipped in paint so children can make their own stamps?

It is you, Goosey...

Look again please - DD couldn't have been more BOLD than give you a clue!

The last time I thoughtt about the spud up the exhaust trick was in a Saint story by Leslie Charteris, when Simon Templar does exactly that!
