In the US theres thoughts on doing away with it altogether to avoid waste as people tend to throw away perfectly good items too early. Indeed we have just used up milk dated Dec 23 last year!

I think it's "Use By" on milk that they are getting rid of, to be replaced with "Best Before". The idea is that many people dump good milk as soon as it hits the use by date, so now they recommend "best before" plus a sniff test. Seems sensible. In other news.... Yet more checking & listing of tools this afternoon - this time in the shed. It's the turn of milling cutters tomorrow.....there's a fair few of them too. A phone call from The Plasterer this morning - start day has slipped by a day (to Thurs) cos' he's gotta have an injection in his paw for Arthritis on Tues; I'm guessing it's not the first time and he knows that his paw will be crook the following day, hence the slippage. Anyway, it doesn't cause Bear any problems so no worries there. I never did get around to messing with all things split chassis today - maybe tomorrow... 11 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichill16 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Evening All, Another day, another walk. This time to another of Barnsley’s tourist attractions but no gf food at the cafe. Lots of tasty pizza, pasties and cakes etc on show but had to make do with a packet of crisps. Got hope mid afternoon but again achieved bu88er all, like Bear, maybe tomorrow. Was going take some measurements regarding chassis widths but…….. Speaking (well writing I suppose) of tomorrow, I’ve got a big meeting at the building site to contemplate. Designer, builder and fitter going to be there so hopefully some dates may be banded about. Don’t know where the day goes, oh yes, watching rubbish films on the TV. Goodnight, Robert 2 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodnight, Robert Just make sure you tell them that you're recording the conversation as last time you didn't and look what happened. Good look at getting them all to agree there start/completion - pick most appropriate, dates. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see pretty much all of them in different variations. I see: Packed on + Sell through (two different dates, on things like ham) Use or freeze by (on ground meats) Best before / Best by (on many, if not most, jars/cans/bottles) Variants of "best if used before" are by far the most common. I tend to write the date on which I open a jar in permanent marker on the lid before I put things in the 'fridge. If opened earlier, they can, though may not be, bad before the "best by" date. Unopened, they are usually fine well after then "best by" date. When my son was young and I had visitation on weekends there were items I purchased intended for him. Sometimes they did not get used promptly. There was an unopened bottle of apple juice in the fridge (I don't know for how long). Eventually I thought to open it for him. It looked fine but I gave it a good shake. This resulted in a lot of non-dissolved solids like you might find in an unfiltered Zummerset scrumpy. I did not serve it to my son. It remains a joke between us. 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisf Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 What does the week ahead promise? Not much, apart from the monthly Area Group meeting on Wednesday. By rights it should have been at lunchtime in a pub that serves good food and is a 30 mile each way drive for yours truly. Instead it will be in the evening and brought to us by Zoom. This is principally because some of our number would still rather not go out. Will we ever see the last of that ruddy virus? Chris 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only virus mankind has ever eradicated was smallpox (after many, many decades of research, vaccination and other effort). What will change is (a) the virulence of the virus [generally they become less lethal over time) and (b) how humans respond to the virus. I reckon that once the coronavirus has a similar lethality as yearly influenza and is pretty much ubiquitous, then life will return to normal. A “new” post-pandemic normal, true; but as “normal” as we’ll ever get… 7 7 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
