Hi all just having my tea and as we do not use much jam I fancied some Apricot which I thought was in a drawer.

Found it and spread it on some toast and it was nice. I checked the lid and it said best before March 2018! So only 6 years out of date but most sugary sweet foods last a long while.

I have a tin of anchovy fillets in a separate cardboard box! These are dated 1998 so I will save those as a treat for later. However I was watching a food programme on this subject and a 40 year old tin of sardines was opened and both presenters ageed they were very nice to eat.

Somewhere on me is a best before date or maybe even a sell by date but not found it yet! I shall persevere onwards and get a bit more exercise under my belt as I am off to Australia at the end of next month and I have to be fit for that.

I love walking in the sand with the waves around my ankles, perhaps these have washed off my date so now I will never know!

Anybody else ignore these dates, there is so much food waste and a lot of it because the government wanted that info on products.
It does not matter which party is in power I try to avoid any government recommendations. They are so often wrong!

After the recommendations to go diesel I do wonder about electric vehicles as well! With near silent traffic on the roads will there be more pedestrian casualties? There so many unexpected consequencies!
I love the one I read of that with the mass use of mobile phones amongst the young that young female pregnancies has gone down by 80%!
So not all bad.
