The ‘Go to work on an egg’ slogan is attributed to Fay Weldon, although she claims she was just the manager of the team who created the famous line.

Just for Mosaic a copy of a joke I posted yesterday

Marriage Northern Style

Three men married wives from different cultures.

The first man married a Chinese women. He told her to do the dishes and clean the house. It took a few days but on the third day he came home to to see a clean house and the dishes put away.

The second man married an Italian woman. He told her to do the dishes, clean the house and do the cooking. The first day he did not see any results but by the third day he saw that the dishes were done, the house was clean and the dinner was on the table.

The third man married a Salford lass. He told her to do the dishes, clean the house, have hot meals on the table three times a day and to mow the lawn.

On the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye.

Thank god BD - I fort it was gonna be that dreadful one about dropping a bag of chips ie how do you know when a salford lass is in ecstasy (so to speak don't want Ed banning me)

Mosaic's Opal Fruits line was written by Murray Walker, of F1 fame.

Not a lot of people know that.
