interesting feature on Ch4 news about water. Since privitisation, water companies have paid their shareholders £72,000,000,000 in dividends and between them , on average, there are 824 incidents of raw sewage dischange EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I've heard of out of date food still being offered for sale in some places, BUT THIS FAR!!!?
I questioned a member of staff, who had no idea, but admitted it looked too fresh to be so far out of date!!
Another staff member said "Oh that's easy, it's Sunday,"
I'm none the wiser - but I bought it.
When I was going to post this, I wasn't sure whether to do so here, or in the SENSE OF HUMUS thread. I'm still not sure which one would have been better!
It's a code number used to identify/denote certain things. You can tell my daughters work in supermarkets can't you?
Bit misleading though as it looks like a year, or day/month, but as they're doing away with the sell by/use by/best before thing, you only have to look at the item and realise it would need to be made of plastic if it was still looking like that 16 years on...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

It certainly is misleading - especially as it's under the "best before". I can understand supermarkets doing away with the best before date, particularly when it's fresh(ish) veg. The code number thing might explain why the second member of staff said it was Sunday. If that is the case, why don't they simply say that, instead of confusing us public?!!

You can tell I don't go food shopping often. 😁
”I’ll keep fresher for longer if you keep me ….”

Thank you for the explanation, @Fairygirl
