The good people of Tamworth have only just got used to Electricity so a potato still wearing its skin was a novelty for them

[@georgedavies9523]

🤣🤣🤣 Good to see that they put the discovery of the wheel to good use by whacking a trailer on them to sell spuds on the bounce

Good people of Tamworth probably lived in the Capital of Mercia before your town/city was even founded……..

So nice to see a local business flourish. We need to support them more.

Speaking as a born and bred 'Tammy' ,I just can't believe the following that this guy has ,he seems to be the sort of spark that Tamworth NEEDS ,instead of stupid statues of Ethelfleda that remind me of Blackpool pleasure beach. Well done Ben !.

This Is The Only Way North of England Will Get Back on its Feet, Self Employed . It’s A Great Country the Opportunities Are There. Even To leave These Small Businesses Tax Free For a Few Years, will Help. A Certain Princes Wages Need Stopping giro is enough For Him. Fair Play To This Man he’s at his Work Everyday.

Less “small” (fake) businesses is the way to go. This idea that everyone can be their own boss and a self-starter is costing the nation more in bankruptcies than benefits and immigration combined. These Grind culture “entrepreneurs” need to get their heads out of the clouds and their noses to a productive, viable grindstone

Jacket potatos are great. Jacket potatos with toppings are great. But man, 3 hrs. for frrshly baked potatos with canned food. Everything he sells, beans, chili, chicken curry etc. is canned.

Fresh? 😂

[@imakedookie]

lmao i can chuck a tater in the microwave and be eating in 5 minutes flat. imagine waiting three hours for a POTATO! you british people really are something special huh!

[@BenJohnson-qp5og]

You cook your jacket potatoes in the microwave??? How much of a basic ass pleb are you???

[@fireburn95rs]

this isn't anything British. This is a global tiktok generation phenomenon. Someone becomes famous, people will line up just to say they experienced it. Helps that the price is reasonable for today's standards too. And you're right but microwave jackets suck. Oven is better, but the benefit of this is that it's instant Vs your method of having to buy the ingredients, wait for baking, cleaning the mess, all other prep etc.
