Crushing victory for brown sauce!

Our poll for red sauce or brown sauce on cheese on toast has closed. Please don't vote now, lines are closed and your vote will not count.

The result? A crushing 80% victory for brown.

We managed to quickly speak to James as he rushes to the airport to attend Mobile World Congress...

"I'm glad the public supported me so resolutely on such a vital decision. Google's servers nearly crashed a number of times due to the huge numbers of people trying to vote.  I feel validated, and suspect Chris will now need to take a step back and reevaluate his life"
