Silly Season

I visit a supermarket that is also used by students, their conversations are such good value that I have been known to spend more time than strictly necessary hanging around near the Pot Noodles.

Today's gem:

Skinny boy, looking anxious:
I've got ham, how long does ham keep for?


Girl:
It depends on how cold your fridge is

Skinny Boy with incipient fridge insecurity:
Err quite cold ... I think

Girl:
You can definitely keep ham for at least a day - two if your fridge is really cold

  5. I'd have the opposite problem and ask if after six months or so if I should finally throw it out.

  6. I've never heard students referred to as Pot Noodles before. I guess the ones that hang out in billiard halls are called Pool Noodles?

  7. Now, for those two students I *would* be inclined to charge them hefty fees!

  14. I suspect that when food starts to glow in the dark it's approaching its eat-by date.

    Have a good Christmas.
