Coronation Chicken is lovely stuff, recipe created by someone during the queen's coronation in the 50s that caught on and for many years was a British sandwich staple.
It's a very mild curried chicken in mayo, if you get lucky and get a homemade coronation Chicken it should have a small amount of raisins dotted through the filling which gives an addictive sweet edge to the flavour profile.

Because you get one for £3 and get a snack and drink, making it a good option for people at work

I don't have butter at my workplace, so if I were to do that, I'd have to spend £1.15 on the cheapest bread and then have to spend £2.25 for some of the cheapest ham or chicken, which I certainly wouldn't enjoy more than a good sandwich. Or I could buy eggs I guess, but wouldn't have enough to also get mayo so that would also suck

Sure I could spend more and then have a lot of sandwiches, but I can't reasonably do better at the nearby supermarket sandwich wise for £3, it's just more expensive

The co-op price increase was a shitter, but to be fair you can get a Ginster's Pasty as a side and a half litre of Red Bull as a drink so you're still saving like £3.

This is a pretty interesting in-depth article about the sandwich industry in Britain: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/24/how-the-sandwich-consumed-britain
>...a million incremental steps: of searching for less soggy tomatoes and ways to crispify bacon; of profound investigations into the molecular structure of bread and the compressional properties of salad. In the trade, the small gaps that can occur within the curves of iceberg lettuce leaves – creating air pockets – are sometimes known as “goblin caves”. The unfortunate phenomenon of a filling slumping toward the bottom of a sandwich box, known as a skillet, is “the drop”.
>Chahar showed me corridors stacked high with specialised brown bread (which must be perfectly square), cold storage with six days’ supply of cheese, and a room with 22 different mayonnaises. In 2010, Raynor Foods, a small family-owned factory in Chelmsford, introduced the Intense tomato, a plum tomato with thicker cell walls that help retain moisture.
