Hey, here's a place that sells sandwiches. Let's have a look at what they have to offer.
Fresh sandwiches. Perfect.
But wait.
Fresh in inverted commas? Not Fresh, but "Fresh"?
So how old are they, exactly? And whose notion of "fresh" is being used to define this? I bet that a fishmonger and an archaeologist would have very different views on what constitutes "fresh". And where on that scale would a sandwich maker sit?
If a sandwich maker is leaning towards the archaeologist's view of "fresh" I am pretty sure that sandwich bread would be a bit too crusty for my taste.
Also, now that I am examining this sign more carefully, define "local" too.
Do they mean local to the shop? The salads are made in Salisbury? That would be fine.
Or do they mean local to Wiltshire? The salads are made in Trowbridge, or Devizes , or even God help us, Swindon? That's a lot of travelling for a salad. Over bumpy, bendy, country roads with lots of opportunity for salad joggling and spillage.
Maybe they mean local to the UK. Those salads could have travelled from Inverness.
Gone off the sandwich idea now.
Damn.

As an archaeologist "Fresh" might mean more than crusty, in human remains terms it would mean gungy and drippy, so best not to go there, really.
Hello Anon, thanks for dropping in. You are quite right. There needs to be more information made available about the relative merits of crusty vs gungy. Someone should write a research paper.
