Also castello luvley

I bought it based on £/100g.... not by what sort it was
Cheapest had a space.... out of stock. So I've got some mature cheddar stuff. I have no pickles... and won't be buying any as I don't have room to store random pickles ".... in case I happen to have cheese and fancy cheese/pickles ..."

You know where you are with a cheap mature cheddar..... all that posh stuff can be tricky

PN, I think in version 7.6 they fixed some of the 'features' (read as bugs) which they promised to fix in 7.1; tried to fix in 7.2 but failed; backed them out unsuccessfully in 7.3; implemented a patch for the partially backed out code in 7.4; and tried to cover their tracks in 7.5.

It's lucky I'm not a cynical type

I'd be impressed if they could just get new software to do things the earlier versions did perfectly well with no resources 10-20 years ago.

Once had a version of Photoshop that fitted on a 720kb half-size floppy and ran on a machine with less than 1Mb of RAM ( I think I ran it on 1/4 Mb).

I am cynical and I don't believe computers are progressing. They're doing something else that's an enormous waste of time and effort.:o

Extra mature cheddar is the way to go - you use less because it's stronger, therefore £/100g is cheaper!

....and takes up less room if you have a storage problem because you can buy a smaller block . A double positive

I have one fridge shelf.... that's not tall either. It's currently jammed with: 8oz butter, 8oz marg, 250g cheese, 3 individual cheesecakes, one pepper, 2 pasties, 20 small tomatoes, 3 squeezy bottles of sauce/mayo/salad cream, a small pot of cooked egg fried rice and tomorrow's packed lunch. Couldn't squeeze a bottom burp in there!

Move the fridge shelf to the next rung when no-one is looking - you'll get a few more cm3. You might squeeze in a jar of pickles then.

Can't.... it'd be spotted.... it's on the basis of "Here's a shelf for your stuff.... we'll share the fridge"... then the other person's stuff is unwrapped, spilling over, disshevelled, random .... and fills every other space. So this concept of "sharing" isn't really going to happen, so I am 'guarding' my shelf and keeping what I've got.

I can't bear for one of my items to co-exist with something that's been "bunged" in, that's spilling over .... that's unwrapped/exposed, out of date, manky ... etc. I'm very OCD.

I'm with you on this. Food hygiene is something I'm very careful about too

Pastures New, you popped into my mind today. I was reminiscing with my friend about a time when I worked at a college with some kids who had Aspergers and they had the most spectacular memory. One kid could remember the entire Inspector Gadget film, word for word...it was quite the thing. Do you have any special talents? My cousin has autism and he has a remarkable mathematical ability, I find it all really interesting..
