    Naughty Adsa , eggs are supposed to be sold at least a week before the best before date .

    Eggs: They're an oddity regarding dates (a hybrid). Although they have "best before" dates, eggs have a lot in common with "use by" products such as meat and dairy items.
    Under EU law, eggs must be sold at least one week before their "best before" date.

    Yes he is, the sooner the better as his vision is difficult if he walks far as only 1 lense in his glasses:p

    The vagueness of those questions would annoy me! Is it a 3D film/at peak time/in central London/standard or 'student' ticket/booked online? What kind of stamp - 1st/2nd/large letter? AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGH! :rotfl:

    Now did you really read all of my post folks?:rotfl:
    I can't believe how short it is actually coming across here.

    Just to say that, if I wanted something removing, I certainly wouldn't go about it in that way. In fact I once did get something removed about me from the Internet. I wrote a letter/email to some place and, like you do:(, they went and published it fully on the Internet. So a search for my name and house name/street name came up with it as first result. I am revealing no more details than this - except that it no longer appears and the chance that anyone has got a copy, somewhere, of the original search results stored in a cache or otherwise, I think that chance is infitessimally remote. In short I think my attempt to remove it has been successful. (As far as I'm aware, no-one else I knew ever saw it. I suspect some of this is paranoia on our parts of something we search for about ourselves but that others are not likely to do so. That said, as mentioned, about journalists constantly getting requests for previous convictions to be removed, there are obviously cases where future employers or family find out and then cause problems for the individual.) But - once information is out, once something is on the Internet, it can never be put back - the genie is out of the bottle - and can never be deleted!

    I'm sure there's loads that I've posted previously that now remains up, for eternity. But be assured if there was anything I wanted removing (and there isn't!) I certainly wouldn't be telling you!:D:j:rotfl:
