DAILY MAIL FRONT PAGE: Is there no one left in Britain who can make a sandwich? #skypapers pic.twitter.com/6UZ1hCq7kr

It’s in the news because the company behind a multimillion-pound sandwich factory, that supplies to Tesco and M&S, is looking to recruit new employees from Europe as it can’t find anyone interested on British soil.
As you can imagine, people went to social media in their droves to have a bit of fun with the story and to prove that they could indeed make a decent sandwich:

As a half-Hungarian, I can tell you, our sandwiches are particularly generous. #Dailymail pic.twitter.com/7IqTOzQ6lI
