Mince Pie Revisionist. Hypocrisy, Cognitive Dissonance and Flaked Almonds

The apostrophist in me is disappointed by Lyons. Very disappointed. Liked or not, at least Lees’ product hasn’t let itself down in the punctuation department.

There was a time when they knew what standards were

I rather thought that tbe company name was Lyons, so the apostrophe is in the correct place, no?

Indeed. It’s to be hoped they pay more attention to their fillings and pastry.

We shall get to the truth shortly.

These pedantic people, who imply that someone has failed to correctly use a punctuation mark, fail to insure they are correct, themselves.
Justice.

ensure.

Isn’t this thread past it’s sell by date ?
Would have thought it was all a bit stale by now.

Perhaps those cunning graphic designers have done a madness and incorporated the apostrophe into the S. A masterstroke.

This percentage is causing a semi conniption.

Is the thought of the Nippy Waitress causing a semi anything else?

Nope. This is serious business.

This was a potential giant killer, until the 50% filling. Let’s see tho. Measurements aren’t everything.

Not in feckin’ Spetember they aren’t you absolute nobber.

Mincing in September shows commitment and seriousness.
The notion of mint marshmlow followed by a mince pie however leaves decency at the door.

It’s in the correct place in their tea sign. It seems to be missing on their mince pie box. Despite @browellm’s apology for them, I’m unconvinced that they’ve incorporated it into the letter s. If they have then damn them for that too !

I did an advert for Lyons maid ice cream for the Apollo landing

Bowie also did an ice lolly advert the same year

Strange how our careers ran pretty much side by side after that

If the tea was produced by multiple members of the Lyons family, they could arguably use Lyonses’

If they’d donated the profits to support the England women’s football senior squad then it might have been Lyonses’ Lionesses’
