Vote for Britain’s Favourite
Sandwich?
IS yours a chicken with
lettuce between slices of wholemeal bread or something a little more
exotic? In a bid to establish exactly which sandwich is No 1
with consumers, the British Sandwich Association is inviting the
public to vote for their favourite sandwich – and in return enter a
draw to win a brand new iPad or one of 100 free lunches.
"We know that sandwich shops sell more chicken sandwiches than
any other variety, but is this an accurate reflection of British
tastes? Sandwiches made in sandwich shops only account for about a
quarter of all the sandwiches we consume in the UK. While chicken
may hold top spot in the High Street, in the home it is more likely
to be ham, egg or peanut butter that tops the bill. Our survey aims
to establish once-and-for-all which sandwich is top of the fillings
with consumers and we will announce the result of the survey in time
for British Sandwich Week that runs over 12 May to 18 May 2013."
asks Jim Winship, Director of the British Sandwich Association.
To have their say, consumers simply need to visit:-
lovesarnies.com and cast their
vote – all those voting will automatically be entered into the draw. |

Declan Jones becomes
youngest ever British GT4 winner with Oulton Park double
Photographs by Octane Photographic Ltd.

LIVERPOOL based youngster
starts 2013 British GT campaign with faultless performance and
shines for sponsors Chicago Soft, The London Perfume Company Ltd and
HERO Energy.
17 year old teenager Declan Jones
put in a stunning performance and made history on his debut in the
2013 Avon Tyres British GT Championship at Oulton Park over the
Easter weekend (30 March to 1 April 2013).
The Halewood Village based youngster, who has moved up from the
Michelin Ginetta GT Supercup this year, went into the event
targeting wins and podiums and he duly delivered in the Century
Motorsport-run Ginetta GT4 that he was sharing with Zoe Wenham.

Indeed after dominating both practice sessions -
finishing almost a 2nd up on their closest class rivals in FP1 and
over 1.3 2nd s up in FP2 - much was expected from qualifying and
after Zoe took third on the grid for race 1, Declan put in a mega
lap to grab pole position for the 2nd race, despite electing only to
do 1 flying lap.
Race day saw the duo enjoy further
success, with Declan finishing the 1st 1 hour event more than 20 2nd
s up on their closest class rival as they romped home to claim the
GT4 class victory.

He then made a great start in the 2nd 1 hour race,
and had built up a good lead when he stopped and handed over to Zoe.
Despite incurring a 15 2nd penalty
at the pit stop - sustained as a result of winning the 1st race -
and despite dropping back to 2nd, Zoe then re-took P1 when the lead
GT4 car was involved in an accident, and while a late safety car
period bunched up the pack, she hung on to ensure it was a double
triumph.

Declan now becomes the youngest-ever British GT4
winner and understandably he was ecstatic about the weekend:-
"It has just been fantastic," Declan said:- "I
couldn't have asked for more. The 1st race was really good. Zoe kept
within fighting distance of our rivals and after our pit stop, I
went out and within a few laps we were up to 2nd . I was rapidly
catching 1st and in the end we won comfortably. In the 2nd race, I
started from pole - only the 2nd time I had d1 a rolling start. It
went really well and in my stint I pulled out a 20 2nd lead. I also
posted the fastest race lap again, which was encouraging. I then
passed it over to Zoe. Having won the 1st race we had that time
penalty, but she still rejoined in a good position and at the end
she defended really well, and we got another victory. Overall it has
been a dream weekend. I am really happy with how I drove -
everything just fell into place. We have had no problems with the
car. It performed well throughout – even with the extra weight we
had to run. The team did a superb job. My thanks go to all at
Century Motorsport, my team-mate, Zoe, the organisers of the Avon
Tyres British GT Championship and of course my sponsors, Chicago
Soft, The London Perfume Company and HERO Energy. This is just the
perfect way to start the year."

Declan will now continue his 1st season in the 2013
Avon Tyres British GT Championship when he heads to Rockingham next
month for Round 2 (5 May to 6 May 2013) and the youngster can't wait
to get back behind the wheel of his Ginetta GT4.
Declan's Dad and manager, Kelvin Jones meanwhile couldn't hide his
delight:- "Declan was just faultless all weekend. Every
session he was fastest and not only that, he absolutely annihilated
the competition. His pole position time on Saturday was pretty much
the same as last year, but what makes it more remarkable is that we
were carrying an extra 150 kilos in lead. Then today to get 2 wins
straight out and 2 fastest laps and for Dec to become the
youngster-ever British GT4 winner is also very special. Everybody
has noticed him this weekend. We've set the bar high and will be
keen now to continue in a similar vein at Rockingham."
