Actually, on a related note, I'm getting slightly sick of people trying to zhuzh up the prawn cocktail. It's fine if you want to eat a prawn cocktail, ffs! You don't need to deconstruct the ****ing thing in order to make it OK. Prawns, lettuce, pink gloop - bit of bread and butter - lovely. Stop ****ing about with it.
It's perfect.

I agree absolutely. I even go so far as to decry the prawn's head balanced on the rim of the glass. I don't need a ****ing prawn's head on my prawn cocktail.
