British Rail sandwich [SEP] country of origin
last act before a long period on a life-support machine."
The British Rail sandwich has been used as a negative point of comparison for other ready-to-serve meals, especially regarding transportation in the United Kingdom, and representative of the negative effects of British nationalisation of industry in the middle of the 20th century. A 1997 article in "The Independent" referred to the sandwich as "an indictment of statist, bureaucratic corporations" privatised by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who had "swept aside James Callaghan
, prices and incomes policies and the British Rail sandwich".
It has also been used as a negative point of comparison for poor service in general. In 1988, "Investors Chronicle" described British Telecom's quality of service as "attracting the sort of public abuse once reserved for the British Rail sandwich". In 2007, Sir Michael Bishop, then chairman of airline bmi, wrote that Heathrow Airport "now has the reputation formerly held by the British Rail sandwich".
