Created by Tesco “to mark the start of summer, Wimbledon fortnight and the quintessential British treat”, the sandwich consists of sliced strawberries, clotted cream and a dollop of strawberry jam between two pieces of poppyseed bread which sounds ok, but in reality comes together to form an unappealing pink-tinged mush. Needless to say, these have ended up in the reduced section every day this week as it seems that people aren’t ready to embrace the dessert-wich even at a pound a go.

This isn’t Tesco’s first attempt at garnering some free publicity with bizarre sandwich concotions: they’ve apparently also tried to tempt hungry lunchtime customers with a lasagne sandwich (which seems entirely unnecessary) and the world’s first commercially prepared sweet sandwich, consisting of banana chocolate spread on chocolate bread. Yum!

What’s next for Tesco? Perhaps the Candwich?

Still not sure what it’s all going to end up being, but I’ve never had a personal website before so I may as well have some fun.

So far, planning to have some work things (club photography & CV) and my personal blog, although due to the latter’s accessibility by anyone it won’t be that personal.

It’s very much a work in progress so any comments/criticisms/suggestions will be gratefully received!

My posts here are being automatically cross-posted to LJ so — once I figure out how to get posts from my iPhone to x-post properly — my blog should be a little more interesting and up to date!

Still getting my head around WordPress, so any tips from folk who use it would  be greatly appreciated!
