    The number is 31415926535. Ask for Sir Cumference, Ray Dians or Di Ammetter.

    There will be no such things post Brexit, so just try it out and cook it and see while you can.

    I have often wondered who decides on these dates anyway.

    I finally got it :)

    At least I didn't have to have it explained to me like Brian Cox did in a recent episode of the infinite monkey cage

    The same people who decide to put horse beef into their food items and cause a scandal in 2013.


    Hopefully they have kicked that habit as of Feb 2019....

    Doesn't Hugh Jardon work there as well?

    Is "horse beef" like pig lamb?

    I would hardly call it ripped apart. In fact I don't even see any criticism of the op. I can see genuine advice, some minor difference of opinion and a bit of banter that is generally aimed at the op.

    If that's being "ripped apart" I hate to think what genuine criticism is.

    That's the problem, most of you don't see that this OP will probably never come back again.
