A hard-working postman of 23 years has been crowned the ‘number one buyer’ of bacon and tomato ketchup sandwiches in Ely.
Gav Fisher received his virtual award from the city’s Sainsbury’s supermarket after he was recorded as the biggest buyer of the meal deal snack in 2020
"I didn’t realise I had that many,” said Mr Fisher after it was revealed he snapped up the most sarnies out of every single shopper in Ely last year.
He said: “I buy any sandwich that doesn’t have lettuce in to save taking it out – this is the strangest thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Mr Fisher has even gone as far as changing his Twitter biography to “#1 buyer of bacon and tomato sauce sarnies in Ely – Sainsbury's 2020”.
“I’m basically a celebrity now,” he joked. “I expect the Ely Standard will be wanting an interview with me soon,” he said before we got in touch.
The Nectar Points app records purchases throughout the year and shoppers are able to check what they bought during 2020.
“I know the number 3 prawn cocktail crisps guy too,” Mr Fisher confessed.
His cardiologist must be so proud....then again someone like that probly never even sees Dr of any sort.
Dang. Thought Ely NV at first. Oh well................
“Let me have a BLT...hold the lettuce.”
The ketchup is what wierds me out.
I know, right?
“Postman”???
Nice to see (rare).
Agreed. Why the hell put Ketchup on a bacon sandwich? Gross.
Ely where then?
Because without ketchup there’s NOT enough sodium. LoL
There was this little place in Tx that made the best damn BLT a 1/4 lb of bacon on toasted sourdough.
Man I had that at least once a week $4.75
We used to go to Ely when I was stationed in England. Nice town as I recall.
Looks like somewhere in one of the brit colonies or suburbs. Looking at the crown on the vest the person is wearing. And, bacon and tomato ketchup* sammich? Mayo yes. Ketchup, not so much.
*Instead of pear ketchup? Brits!
What do they call it there? a bacon butty? or booty?
Cambridgeshire, England.
Sainsbury’s is one of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK.
Yes, remember:
The US Postal Service delivers the mail.
The Royal Mail delivers the post.
