Heinz has refused to remove the Houses of Parliament design from it's HP sauce bottles, some Members of the House are trying to have HP sauce banned from the canteen, good on 'em !

Heinz may be feeling the pinch of people boycotting their products, as a plan to allow people to swop another brand of beans for Heinz beans was scrapped after plans of a protest at Touchwood in Solihull: Beans amnestey fails.

I have no desire for all the Heinz employees in wigan that make beans to loose their jobs, but what does Heinz care about them anymore than it cared about Birmingham people ?
OK, copanies must make sound commercial decisions, but to call a product British and have a picture of the epitomy of Britishness - The Houses of Parliament - on its label is downright rude to the people of the country. Take off the picture and call it Dutch Sauce and see how well it sells then !
