Anyway while here...I am going to risk commenting on something which I should have commented on earlier but did not because I wasn't quite sure whether or not the posters were joking. But hey, what have I got to lose - other than looking like the village idiot...so... 1. matthew123 wrote: ...is it better to bin unwanted food or stuff our faces and get fatter? 2. SteveT wrote: ...We can eat more of it and help get obesity on the front page. Matthew123, I am unsure as to whether or not your tongue is in your cheek here...but...obviously neither of those propositions are desirable...though I suppose there is a logic (of sorts) that stuffing unwanted food into our faces may not constitute waste in the sense that the food is being saved from landfill etc. However, to me, the mere fact that food isn't being thrown away to fester underground for years and produce methane, doesn't necessarily mean that waste isn't involved. To my mind, to stuff one's face with food when one is not hungry is still wasteful in the sense that it involves the careless and inefficient use of food. Instead of throwing it away, why not give it to someone...(so they can stuff their faces!*jokes*)...that's what I do on the rare occasion I find food in the fridge when about to go on holiday for example...and the recipients of that food (mostly neighbours) return the favour when they in turn go away...it's a win win. But all this musing aside, isn't this whole debate about wasting less, rather than eating more?. Steve T, as regards your post, I am almost certain (*big grin*) that your comment is made tongue in cheek...indeed, I can hear the facetious tone in your voice as well as see the mischievous twinkle in your eyes! (*laughs*). The problem of obesity in the UK is a very real one...and I don't think anyone would wish it to become front page news - but feel free to correct me if you feel differently! (*giggles*). Oh, and sincere apologies if I have misconstrued your post.

It saves me an absolute packet, it keeps me fit and healthy, I know what I am eating, and any excess produce makes nice presents. Oh and I've made some lovely friends into the bargain!

For years, my mother-in-law carried a squeezy bottle of (very) hot chilli sauce in her hand-bag! (To go in her sandwiches no doubt - ahem).

Y'man Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- >... shouldn?t I be entitled to these medical records free of charge? You would have thought so - wouldn't you...but alas... As far as I know, if you have seen your GP etc. within the last 40 days, you may view your records for free. If your records are held on a computer, there may be an administration charge of up to ?10. Regarding copies of older paper records, and results such as X-rays, you may have to pay photocopying and administration charges - these can be up to ?50 . I would make further enquiries to ensure they are not just charging you the maximum for the sake of it. Good luck.

womanofdulwich Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- >my dad has a cellar and > keeps all his veg there and it keeps for ages. That's interesting... I keep mine in the loft (the opposite end of the house to your dad - womanofdulwich), and veg keeps for ages there too (e.g. pumpkins/squashes harvested in September keep till the following March, as do spuds, onions and garlic).

Fear 'n boozin Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- removing 'best before' dates could be helpful. matthew123 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- Better education perhaps, for instance do we > always need to bin food as soon as it's passed the > supermarket best before date. According to the Food Standards Agency, a "best before" date is about quality not safety: most food should be safe to eat after that date though it might not be at its best. Indeed there now exist (quite legally) companies who actually specialise in selling foodstuffs with an out of date "best before" date. Incredible when not so long ago such an enterprise would have caught the interest of the Health Inspector. And the Secretary of State for the Environment has even gone so far as to suggest that "best before" dates should be ignored. But how many people know this? Matthew123's suggestion of educating the public makes sense...after all, many of us are now aware of the effects of e.g. excess salt or saturated fats in our diet thanks to FSA advertising.

Also, many many years ago the BBC got researchers to hand in "lost" purses and wallets at various bus/train stations. Subsequently, a second lot of researchers were dispatched to then claim the "lost" property. Result? About two-thirds of researchers were told that nothing had been handed in! This makes neilson99's (thoughtful) decision to post here appropriate. Sadly it also indicates the sort of world we live in nowadays.

Now now Y'man...give the poor Lady a break...I can just visualise her Ladyship sprawled out (attired in the finest silk of course) on her chaise longue...Housekeeper applying cold compresses to her Ladyship's forehead, whilst the maid attempts to gently fan away the stresses caused by this most unfortunate of incidents, all while the boot-boy, massages her Ladyship's beautifully pedicured feet! Poor soul...it's all too much you know... *again, tries very hard not to laugh*
