Oh. Not my sort of thing.

A tele-industry worker (now too old to be hired by it) reminds me that as a freelancer you can't complain. She was refused a job because she had a child. I have been asked at an interview whether I 'was going to have more children'. And now apparrently we 'don't have enough workers'. I wonder why.

I bought some batteries yesterday … there they were, the package emblazoned with a pink Duracell bunny … that’s a sexualised joke isn’t it? But does anyone take offence … do they heck …. lots of mixed messages out there. I missed that joke/sexualised message but perhaps I am inured to it. I thought...

Perhaps I’m a bit hard nosed about the subject but I’ve had to deal via my job with a lot of cases of sexual abuse of people who really couldn’t speak out … it makes me angry when women who could complain don’t … but then make woolly allegations later on when nothing can be proved … leaving more vu...

It’s hot local news here, only 4/5 miles away. Same night a number of farms got hit and had their diesel tanks drained. Our tank is away from the house, OH has been paranoid about it - probably because we have just agreed a price with our purchasers for what’s left in the tank! BB Oh dear, that's b...

That even hit the Beebs R4 news. Was it a stunt to shift the sleaze-bag out of the news? Wild idea I know but not impossible.

Replying to self ( sorry, bad etiquette), Very Likely IMO.

Oh. Could be...but this mean mouse (who has all the stolen cheese anyway) is...skeptical. Not outside this mousehole.

That does not surprise me one jot. I think he was on DiD or a repeat recently, absolutely awful.

I love breast of lamb … Delish. My Sainsbug has a lot of heavily discounted (with Nectar Card) NZ legs and half-legs. Why? What is going on in Lamb Wholesale Markets? Who has let them down? It all got outrageously expensive at one point and the UK was quite brutal just dropping the imports, not a g...

Is that to me? Sorry if not.

As i understand it the UK is a free zone of some sort. It's the NI agreement keeping us from sinking into a swamp of dreadful food. Medicines I know nothing of what is happening there.

states that “… Boursin is made in Croisy-sur-Eure in France,…” I really doubt that they would be producing the same cheese to two different standards of hygiene etc in the same factory. Far too much risk of cross-contamination etc. So if it is up to EU standards why make a different batch of labels...

Heinz is the preferred one here but has rapeseed oil, I can't stand the stuff but don't notice it in the mayo.

You can only be a doormat if you lay on the ground and let people walk on you. That's unfair to those who are less robust or need the job or a whole host of other things. Male behaviour such as GW's should not be tolerated by anyone or have to be endured. Not only has GW gone down in my estimation ...

I'm afraid it might be judged unfit for the EU market and can be dumped on us with lower standards. There is a fear that our products could get in via Northern Ireland which is why some things are labelled not for EU. If it was up to EU standards why that labelling?

I've eaten the cheese now...

Brilliant, thanks Suffs, the way some people talk/write about it you'd think it was deadly poison.

Now to investigate why Boursin has 'not for EU' on it.

Is that before or after skimming off the scum.....? :lol: What does 'the scum' consist of though? That is my Q? What is in it? I don't bother although after eating a few bits of 'not for EU' Boursin which didn't taste very nice. Not dead so far but the dregs are heading our way. That Boursin is off...
