You are charged for it when you buy it in the first place before it goes flat or if you didn't pay for it then you will be charged when you are caught, so technically no, you don't get anything free of charge. 

 

Our industrial designer went on a date last night. I decided to be slightly mean to her and text her part way through to ask if she had asked her date how he would eat a door. Apparently she already had (and apparently he didn't run away). A bit later on apparently he asked her (as she works for a company designing manhole covers, that's what we do) if she had 5 years, how would she eat a manhole cover.

 

When she told me this, this morning my thought was, what clear opening, what depth and what load classification? (the deeper, larger the clear opening and higher the load classification the more metal there will be). A 900 clear opening, 150mm deep F900 cover would be a complete nightmare to try and eat. I'll stick to me surface boxes me thinks.

Oh, this is getting deep in engineering and we probably need to get the boots on. How can you tell if they are an engineer boots vs. cowboy boots? 

Easy, if they are cowboy boots the BS is on the outside of the boots.

I saw one today and even after 23 years it still looks good.

I've just blown our designers mind. She never knew that you eat Weetabix with cold milk. She has always assumed that you are supposed to put milk on them that is warm.

 

She also said she doesn't like Weetabix with warm milk so is now going to try them with normal cold milk straight from the fridge.

 

On the subject of Weetabix. What monster only eats one! My dad has done this in the last few weeks so it always means there is one odd one left at the end of a box so I have to open another box of them to get the normal 2 per bowl. Before I would always finish off a packet exactly.

2 per bowl?

 

I always have 4-5 per serving

That is quite substantial.... A lot of sustenance!

Not really i don't think.

2 is certainly not enough to get any work done on

My breakfast consists of 2 bricks of weetabix, a cup of oats, one chopped banana and cold milk. I guess that's probably similar.

Speaking of odd numbers, why is there always an odd number of slices in a Warburtons sliced loaf? Not very conducive to sandwich making is it? Though as I always end up throwing away that last slice, is this a way of them maximising profits?

...and multiple bowls but this always results in an even number being eaten.

No. They just reduce the price massively at 11pm so people buy it before midnight. Anything that goes past its sell by date has to be disposed of.

I remember one Christmas, Lidl had a load of stock out at the front of the store by the checkouts and the staff were encouraging customers to take stuff for free

No. But it is possible to set up your local supermarket with local food charities in the area on a one on one basis. As long as the manager isn't a douche. Worthwhile doing if u want to do your bit.
