Did it make you wonder when the police closed down the Genesis web site (that was selling hacked financial and personal details) how the people who 'traded' there paid for their purchases - and why those details weren't being hacked? If Genesis was immune from hacking (IF it was) - why can't all sites be? The thought of a hackers site being hacked made me smile. Easily pleased obviously.
...I didn't realise that it was down to pacakaging and thought it was because they changed supplier due to [Ukraine|Covid|Brexit]* and it was a 'dodgy' product.
I don't get the plastic saving though, as the pack seems to be a similar size and AFAIWA the old base tray was recyclable anyway - so it was only the top film that couldn't be recycled. Are they saying that the volume of sales meant that those top films amounted to 450 tonnes? I think they would have been better off making sure that the plastic used in their 'chilled' offering was all recyclable (ie mince was, bacon isn't - why?). Why is any non-recyclable plastic on offer anyway after all these years?
I was just feeling silly when posting. I wondered who would comment on it. We always used to call them squiggles rather than squirrels when our niece and nephew were little.
They're always squiggles in our house. Except for the youngest who is stuck with stiwwels while he works on developing his Qs and Rs.
I'm annoyed this morning after being woken up by the neighbour's car alarm going off for a solid five minutes or more at 3am. I thought the law was that they had to reset after 60 seconds? I moaned to my wife about how they must have slept through it somehow and it turns out she didn't wake up either. I think it might have been her snoring that set the alarm off in the first place though
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
The new Sainsbury’s mince packaging has to go into one of those in (supermarket) store collection bins for plastic. Abel &Cole also take that sort of packaging in their plastic recycling scheme, don’t know about other veg box schemes. Most councils don’t collect it.
Apparently they decided it was still worth doing because it reduces the volume of plastic used by 450 tonnes.

Maybe that's what I thought I'd been seeing as I thought virtually all of their clear plastic trays were in the past recyclable. Maybe they've changed that packaging to lighter weight plastic - even though it may not then be readily recyclable. If that is the case, that does seem a bit barking to me.
Go to the meat counter in Waitrose and they'll let you bring your own container to put mince in. A lot of butchers do the same now too.
My belated grump of the day is that the Easter holidays have struck down the community apple trees already. A few weeks ago ten tiny trees were planted by a local picnic area and yesterday they were all snapped in two. To be fair no signs went up about it and the apple tree tags were ripped off and thrown in the weeds within a few days, so to the kids around here who aren't used to using their brains for anything useful the anonymous sticks probably just looked like any other outlet for petty vandalism. Anything nice around here gets broken or set on fire fairly quickly.
