"One can only get 2 Hot Wings for 99p instead of 3 nowadays!
thats good news... only 1 bird loses it life per portion..
always a positive  "
.
They make two pieces of Hot Wings out of one chicken wing, so only 1 bird is required for 3 pieces!  |

"Im paying 99p for two.
I used to be paying 99p for three.
Now, i'm paying £1.50 for three.
But the fourth wing is £1.98?
"
no, each wing is approx 50p, you get a discount for bulk buying....4 wings = £1.98 as you have to buy 2 x 2 @ 99p |

So there is no 'fourth' wing then?
Or if there is, I can't buy it alone, I have to buy the other three as well?
Seems wasteful to throw away the three wings I don't want.
They should have kept it at 99p for three.
Then there would have been a wing left.
For 'about 50p'. |

no, there would have been two wings left...as you only want one.
ergo, it makes more sense to only buy two for 99p so you won't be wasting 2 wings, only one.

If somebody buys 3 wings for £1.50, then the wing people have a wing left over.
The fourth wing.
Do they throw that wing away i.e should I wait round the back & catch it?
Or, are they open to 'offers' on the fourth wing.
Surely getting something for it makes more business sense from their point of _iew?
OR
If I DID, reluctantly, buy two wings, would they buy one of them back from me.
(this would allow them to turn the fourth wing back into a pair of wings and thus, again, increase profits) |

no, as they don't sell three wings...only two.
this is non-negotiable so there will be no buy back plan.
caveat emptor! |

"I don't recall an 'IF'.
Back in a bit, i'm off to phone the wing people with my business proposal."
i said "that would be"...not is.
did you google 'wing people' and the number just come up then?

WELL.
All I can say is i'm surprised that such a young person is responsible for answering the phone in a company of such a size, even if it is the weekend.
And the wing people need to get him trained up on both 'customer service' and 'negotiation skills'.
Though his bringing 'slaw' (whatever that is) into the conversation did throw me, i'll admit.
I can however confirm that the wing people do not sell the fourth wing as a single item. At any price. Nor do they 'trade' wings in any 'buy back' scheme for extra, unwanted wings.
He was adamant, to say the least.
And curt.
And he accused me of being both curt and of limited intellectual capacity.
'Stupid curt'.
Though the line was bad... |

Chicken feet have always been popular with the Chinese.
Chopped the claws first, as they are unsightly.
Deep fried them, and braise them with a rich soy gravy with ginger, garlic and spring onions.
Yum yum!
Or the Thai way. Pickle the chicken feet skin so that its texture changes to kind of crunchy!
Hopefully, I'd get to eat both dishes when I am up in London in Feb 2011 and visit my favourite dim sum restaurant in Chinatown! |

"And that i'm right.
wrong
At least I had the humility to be gracious in defeat on the other thread, a quality sadly lacking in some."
how did you manage to put the words "quality" and "sadly lacking" in your sentence without it being related to one of your veris?
You must be learning how to use words...! |

Right about what? 
Everything.
Deal with it.

Yeah, right, in your head, of course! "
You're an educated woman.
Read the thread.
Fault my logic.
I beseech you.

"I love a 2-pieces Variety meal from time to time!
Also kebabs, Whopper, Subs etc...
Need my junk food fix from time to time you know. "
Me too - it's my guilty pleasure.
Although I prefer a Deluxe Boneless Banquet to a Variety Meal... with a Diet Pepsi to make it marginally less unhealthy. |

"U will be lucky if the wings r chicken and not cat ...... he he
I've never seen a cat with wings?  "
winged cats is a skin condition called feline cutaneous asthenia, or FCA, which is related to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (elastic skin) in humans. In winged cats that are due to FCA, the wings only occur on the shoulders, haunches, or back. Winged cats that are due to FCA can often actively move their wings, suggesting the presence of neuromuscular tissue within the wings, which is not present within clumps of matted fur alone.
Yummy! |

And there's another advantage to the 'single wing'.
Ideal for people watching their weight.
An opportunity going begging for the wing people. |
