Oh and MMW re your phone, does your sofa have a gap at the back under the cushion? I lost my phone among other things and it had slipped down and into the frame. Had to remove the staples underneath to get in and retrieve it (hope that makes sense)

Don't sling em!
Pop em in the fridge and have em the next day warmed up on a tray in the oven. Taste just as good. Fry up an egg and butter a couple of rounds of bread and you're good to go :T

Ps, glad you don't feel threatened by her.
She may fry chips but I bet she can't bake like you can

I couldn't face them 2 days in a row

Nah I'm not threatened by her just find it amusing I sit parked round the corner giggling to myself, she can serve him naked if she likes so long as I get cheap chips - now thats a true MSE'r :rotfl: - (we only buy the 1 bag between us)

Chips are not proper chips without batter bits!!!:dance:

...or scraps as they are called here::). They used to be free but for many years now they charge:( It used to be bits that "fell off" the battered fish but I'm sure now they dump waste batter into the fryer to create scraps for sale. I know it's a health thing (veg oil etc) but fish and chips just don't taste the same as they used to!:(

Mind you, nostalgia ain't what it used to be either:rotfl::rotfl: (sorry, old joke)

We live just down the road from the Black Country Living museum and often the local paper gives a free entry ticket, I will pop in there just to visit the chippie as there is 2 of them 1 cooks in veg oil the other still uses lard, the queue is always longer at the "traditional" chippie

Spiraling - I had a big issue with that store many months ago. I was told you couldn't get DTD on two identical items in the same transaction. HO got it sorted though. My argument is that why should we check that the barcode matches. If they want to make sure we buy the right thing then the barcode should be the more prominent bit of information on the SEL, not the description. The fact that the description is the biggest bit would suggest that we should read that, look at shelf, make judgement call and buy the item as described.

Redfraggle - your guide is really good ........... but ........... DTDs are hard enough to come by so are you sure you want to give out that info on a plate to lurkers? It's taken all of us many months to hone our skills and develop rhino hide for being trouted without letting others in on 'trade secrets'. I can just imagine some idiot going to CS saying "but I read it on MSE that all I had to do was make sure the SEL was out of date and I'd get it for free".

Twinks (hope I got the name right) - thank you for the fab hobnob recipe :T

Got a load of whoopsied cream a couple of nights ago. 250ml for 15p. 14 tubs (one refunded as it was opened). Made the butter last night. 1.7kg butter and 1.6litres of buttermilk for the grand sum of £1.95. Thank you again to the OP for that one. Now to find a whoopsied freezer to store it in
