At risk of being seriously off topic I remember seeing an article in the local paper when I was a student reporting soaring sales of ice cream with the arrival of summer weather.

Who would have thought?

But that wasn’t the end of the insight though. The article did reveal to readers that the massive sales weren’t due to last. They were predicted to reduce somewhat in autumn as the weather cooled.

seriously off topic

My advice would either be:

1. Take it back to the shop and claim your statutory rights to a refund, or

2. Send it back to Mars (UK) Ltd. and you never know they may send you an entire box as a goodwill gesture.

I may be in a minority (again), but I'm far more interested in what Peter Beagrie and Gary Birtles think than Chris Phillips or whatever "expert" normally writes match reports for the Echo.

Fair play to the Echo on this one, for those of us at the game it is interesting to find out how we are viewed nationally.

Beagrie's post-match analysis - "It's still all to play for but I've got to go with Doncaster," was his verdict.

This was also his pre-match and half-time analysis - he didn't actually wear a red stripey top but he didn't exactly provide an objective analysis for any neutral viewers either:thumbdown:

Its difficult to analyse his comments without having heard them, but I'd suggest that he's probably more objective than most Southend fans.

I wouldn't consider it particularly controversial to tip Doncaster at the start, and it being goalless at half-time and full-time would hardly force someone to change that analysis.

Fair comment - I think it was the grin on his face every time he tipped Doncaster that irritated me!
