Since the canteen in Building 1 now only has room for two lines of chocolate by the tills, and one of them is going to be Mars, let's settle this properly.

Mars. Obviously. It's a meal. It's been a meal since 1932. Nobody has ever finished a Bounty and thought "that was a meal".

Bounty people, make your case. You won't.

Bounty. Coconut is a fruit, which makes it healthy, which makes it the only responsible choice for people who work next to a chamber. Also you get two, so you can give one away and look generous.

Nobody has ever been given half a Mars and felt grateful.

Reception is neutral in this matter. The visitors' jar at Marconi Court has always had both and will continue to have both.

Please stop taking the Bounties out of the visitors' jar and then complaining here that there aren't any.

Update from the front line. Two of the Percival Marine lot were seen at the Building 1 till buying Bounties this lunchtime. When challenged they said they were "for a colleague".

I've heard that one before. So has anyone who's ever been in a canteen.

Building 1 canteen, till 2, four weeks to 3 August. Average units per weekday.

Code:

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Mars 31 19 30 18 27 Bounty 9 22 10 24 8

Mars on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Bounty on Tuesday and Thursday. Every week. Just an observation.

Have you been at the tills, Dr W? Some of us come to this thread for the politics, not the data.

Also this proves nothing except that on Tuesdays and Thursdays the people of Building 1 are right.

Bump. The canteen has started stocking the Bounty "Duo" in a special display by the coffee machine. At eye level. This is a provocation and I want it minuted.

Bump, since this thread will outlive all of us. Reception remains neutral. Both are still in the visitors' jar.

Please stop leaving the wrappers in the visitors' book tray.
