"By 1973 the number of Johnnies had dropped to 160 people and 1,100 tonnes, and had fallen again to around 20 Johnnies by the end of the 20th century.".
That's a lot of Johnnies.
I'd like to know how many Onion Johnnies are in action right now. The number/s could be down to only maybe two or three.
Imagine seeing one. Live. A real Onion Johnny encounter.

I'd pay good money to see that, well, I imagine Shenguin would. He likes the perverse. |

Oh man, Diana Rigg is dead. Unfortunately The Avengers isn't on Netflix. My Dad used to call me Emma Peel. It's currently on ITV4 |

Oh, I almost forgot: Tintin Book of the Day is The Castafiore Emerald, ppbk., ex-Derbishire Library copy, sent from Leipzig. Tea: moussaka, dolmades, tzatziki and a bottle of retsina.
Nice.
How come the Greek grub?
Are you in Greece? ...
*checks* overcast, 15°, looks like rain, distinct lack of people dancing sirtaki... yeah, unfortunately this is Brum and not Corfu. At least my taste buds can do a scubar and go on a holiday from time to time. |

The air hangs heavy over the West Midlands conurbation.
I love Greek food. I love retsina. I love Metaxa ... But I love ouzo the most.
I bought some ouzo on holiday and it came with an art print of people drinking ouzo in a cafe. It's nice. Tasteful.
I am not so great at cooking Greek food ....

Thanks, that saved me from doing some work just to make the obvious joke. |

Any help / advice would be appreciated. Don't smoke in bed. Look, look, and look again, before you cross. Always eat your greens. Your welcome. |

What worries me is not people who don't remember the ads. They finished in the early 1980s.
But I suspect there are people too young to remember the Prodge.

Don't take the brown acid. (Also, give the pickled eggs a swerve.) |

You've gone badly wrong there. Pickled eggs are delicious.

You've gone badly wrong there. Pickled eggs are delicious. Not the Woodstock ones. Tummy trouble and technicolor dreams do not a good mix make. This stuff is all well documented. |

I saw an Onion Johnny talking to a Hairy Biker on telly earlier. Pretty sure I've seen one engaged in conversation by Rick Stein too. Keeping the flame alive.

I've seen Onion Johnnys on the ferry. Years ago.
Might have been the Plymouth Roscoff ferry. Possibly Porstmouth-Le Havre.
It was about 30 years ago.
