3 billion people on this planet are surviving on 2.5 dollars a day.

It sort of puts things into perspective.

Stand on the moon and look back at Planet Earth.

How many Baguettes do you see?

Ardi is correct.

The last Ocado delivery I had was on a Friday evening. The driver crashed into our gatepost and left without letting us know. I immediately contacted Ocado - and our local Waitrose - to ask if they could get a repairman out before the pillar collapsed on kids playing on the street and got a response of 'you'll need to wait till our legal department are in on Monday' .

Eventually, they did fix it but subsequent correspondence with them lacked a reply with an acceptable tone of voice.

As I said, the LAST time I used them.

You've probably got the best part of a week to eat it after the sell by date - sell by & use by are very different. Was it stale? If not there's nothing wrong with it.

This is exactly why we waste so much food in this country - people relying on sell by dates rather than common sense. Even if it goes stale after a few days you can toast it, make bread & butter pudding etc - if this is too much like hard work feed the birds/ducks with it which I'm sure the kids would love.

Sometimes it's the little things that are indications that something's not right.
