Come, come Ed. Things have to be politically correct.

If they put may contain nuts it will be wrong. It definitely contains nuts.

[RATTER15]

Maybe it is because Monkey nuts (peanuts) are not actually nuts at all.

Really sorry to do this, hate it when people go off-topic, but could you please have a look at my question in 'Editors Blog' when you've got a minute, ed :-)

A label "monkey nuts" does not say that they are peanuts. Haven't heard them called that in years, nor groundnuts either; that may be since that the"groundnut scheme" was such a fiasco; and many people will not know that they are peanuts, to which those people may have an allergy.

Got some little butter pats in a national trust tearoom - label said 'contains milk'..... thank god for that. I thought it might be a peanut.

Ed, surely this is a question for CB...

[Psybbo]

I hope AB isn't removed so maybe you should post a warning that there are various types of nuts in it

[ummmm]

Oh for gods sake!!

[factor-fiction]

Shouldn't they also contain an admission that they contain no monkey or stress that no monkeys were harmed in their production?
