Someone said this earlier in the thread aswell, may have been you again but it's nonsense. A lack of stock control does not infer a single thing about hygiene or any other serious deficiency other than a lack of stock control.

It's like reading a cheap tabloid Newspaper some of the things on this thread. So much blown out of proportion.

I'm surprised that those who belong to the top 1% of intelligent people in this country didn't pick you up on the use of the word 'infer'.

But being in that 1%, I guess they're bound to be much too polite to do so.

In that same spirit of courtesy, I'd suggest you read the OP again. Or perhaps, for the first time. . ?? The OP referred to an incident of stock control failure in the context of consumer health.

Though you may think that stripping away context from condition is in some way helpful, those in the top percentage of Britain's cleverest people will doubtless wish to point out the difference between dropping a lighted cigarette on the open highway and doing so in a shed full of dynamite.

The condition is the same -- in this instance, a failure to control the item of tobacco stock within one's grasp -- but the context most certainly isn't. Nor are the possible outcomes.

Anyway, have a good day. And if the opportunity ever permits, do let everyone know how you fared with the notion that driving the wrong way up the M1 does not "infer" a single thing about imminent mortality or any other serious condition other than driving the wrong way up the M1.

But you're also stripping away the context of Bamber19's post.

A more accurate analogy would be that the poster i quoted was suggesting that driving the wrong way up the M1 implies (for the pedantic) that one wouldn't know how to change the oil in their car and that they do not check it regularly. Two practically unrelated things that happen to exist under the same roof.

Is that an analogy?

Pedantry no more comes into knowing the difference between inferring and implying than reality comes into assertions which hold that conditions are universalities impervious to consequence.

Heck though, I'm not in that top 1%.

And what of the content of the post? Rather than comment on the one part in brackets perhaps you may want to give your opinion on the post? Is it not the case that when referring back to the post i originally quoted, my M1 analogy is much more accurate than yours. That poster suggested that a lack of stock control implies there will be a lack of hygiene. I say that is nonsense, it implies merely that there is a lack of stock control and tells you nothing about store hygiene.

I was going to suggest that my use of the word infer was an exhibition of an advanced form of personification but I wouldn't want to encourage you.

Personally I think the OP is lying and an attention seeker.

Anyone who believes the OP is dim.

Now Im not trying to be offensive but 19 months out of date? Nah....far far far too much turnover in there stores. It just doesnt happen in a high turnover store like a Tesco. Thats my opinion. We have no way of verifying what the OP is saying is true. However any one us can go straight into ANY tesco and pick up say 150 items at random to see if the sell by/ use by date is safe. I very much doubt you will find anything out of date by more than a few weeks. Therefore I believe the OP is a liar and anyone who believes the OP as a bit green.

Goodbye.

Quite. Anyone can make a mistake, but most intelligent people will have the grace to concede when they are, or might be, wrong. I've yet to catch even a whiff of this from you, uktim29. This latest furore over the name badges is a point in case: davie24 has already mentioned that "there is a new uniform being rolled out across the country". Whether these have reached your local area yet is neither here nor there, except that you still seem to be insisting that they don't exist because you haven't seen them. Weird! Are you a flat-earther too?



Yes, and therein lays your problem, Tim. Someone who always disagrees will inevitably lack much credibility, not least when they're routinely having to pad out their arguments with ridicule and insults. Patting people like Sssssss on the back for their silly inflammatory comments only goes to weaken your position further. Sorry, but if you can't grasp this, you do still have an awful lot of growing up to do.

Few people here, I think, would object to hearing an alternative point of view if intelligently and sensitively put, but we've now heard yours several times over, Tim, and still don't think much of it. Please give it a rest.

To be honest, though, I didn't join either this thread or this forum to talk about uktim29, so this is me signing off and dropping out. Bye folks!

This is my last ever post as Honeydog. I've had enough too to be honest.

In the words of Dragon's Den..... "I'm out!"

Although the "as Honeydog" bits worrying, are there more of you?
