HP Sauce (2006)

June Haikus 06

3rd June; Staff, workers at the H.P.sauce factory at Swindon are having talks with the management in a last-bid attempt to prevent its sale to a Dutch company.

So who's going Dutch?
Family sauce exported,
sold down the river.
British bottle gone.
No H.P. agreement though,
just Hollandaise sauce.
H.P. staff browned off.
Time to sell off H of P.
(Holland won't buy it.)

Tim Waterstone today failed for the seventh time in his bid to buy back Waterstone's from its owners, W.H.Smith.
Chapter Seven closed
Tim's bad buy-back-books bid stalls;
no longer novel.
Orange layoffs...
Orange sliced staff.Since
Navel-gazing it's blossomed.
Staff peeled off? They're juice
