HE DOES HAVE A WIFE!
he bought the HTC phone case for her.
I still want to know about the cheese though. I can't see any evidence of any dairy-based reviews.
HE DOES HAVE A FRED BERO BOWLER HAT THOUGH! WTF IS GOING ON HERE?

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Poe Lols
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Am I living in a perverse alternative reality which diverged from everyone else's reality at the point at which they invented the Bero Man?

so why did Fred Bero buy a bowler hat then??
www.amazon.co.uk/review/RDP5R8FSMOS1/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
if it wasn't to dress up as his namesake?
'memorial parade' is such an obvious smokescreen

Did the evil Multi-National Homepride conglomerate appropriate the Be-Ro guy in some
sordid takeover bid? There must be some reason why I think this figurine belongs to Be-Ro?

Nope it's just people mixing up two different product references. Homepride was the little bowler hatted men
Be-Ro as far as I know never had a mascot.

I'd never heard of Be-Ro
perhaps lots fo people generally got them mixed uo, a bit like that advert that was for Electric Heating that everybody remembered as being for British Gas (or was it the other way rouind)

I always buy Be-Ro flour as a preference they also do a Be-Ro baking booklet
with recipes in for Scones an Pies and such.

Of course it's a British company
it might be a Northern thing but Be-Ro is very popular up this way.
