Potentially stupid question but we just got back from the local shop after picking up a packet of flora but the date on it is from 5 days ago. It doesn't say if the date is a best before or use by date or anything, so we're not sure if it's safe to eat. It's flora so we figure dairy based stuff could be risky. Anyone got a clue?

Flora isn't dairy based, that's the point. But you could just take it back and they should swap it.

Prawn crackers are allowed as crisps despite their radical base but they also aren't very good so they aren't the best crisps.

I don't know about Flora in particular but some foods have a packaging date as well as a best before/use by. Also best before is fine to eat for a bit after and I doubt flora would go particularly bad quickly.

I mean most of them are more or less of my age range, which came of age in the mid-late 90s, and so genuinely believe all you need to win is a nice haircut and a relentless hatred of the left.

I think their motivation is entirely to have some veneer of power in opposition jobs for as long as possible. To maximise that you must do as little as possible. It's lovely careerism to have a "prestigious" job, not to change anything or make the world a better place. They think that wanting change is juvenile politics.

None of that is necessarily opposed to them wanting to be in charge, though  They could have actual power to do nothing in government, as well. And it is much better on your CV.

Cheers for all the flora replies. Our local shop is rife for this kind of thing and i clearly don't have a loving clue what i'm putting into my body. We took biscuits back a few months ago and have kept an eye on the things we get since then as there's been loads of other out of date stuff we've spotted on the shelves (including milk). We didn't spot it this time, but now don't want to end up being that awkward couple round the corner that keep bringing the out of date stuff back. Presumably other folk aren't giving a poo poo (or aren't noticing) if they keep doing it all the time. It's got all the trappings of some 70's BBC sitcom. All i need is a B plot involving a disgruntled neighbour with a dog that eats all the flora before making GBS threads all over the garden or something.

Is it like an independent shop or something because it's bizzare to me that a local supermarket would go through milk (or maggie) so slowly as to have it go out of date.

Bring the full force of the FSA down on them like a tonne of bricks. Speaking of dodgy food my local Chinese has a big sticker on the door, and from the inside you can see through the back of the sticker and it's covering a 3* FSA rating. That's illegal right? It's been like that for years. I also don't want to know what the gently caress they did to get 3*.

It’s certainly made me a lot warier of where I eat. Like have (and use) hand washing facilities, a cleaning system and practice sensible food storage. That’s literally all you really need to do. If you combine that with HACCP paperwork and understanding then you almost have to consciously try to get a low rating.

Why on earth would you bet on either labour or the NIP? They're going for the same voters, the most likely outcome is a split combined with a lovely candidate, the previous one resigning, and declining vote share meaning the tories get the seat. Honestly some people are loving stupid.

A good bet can still be (and often is) on an outcome other than the most likely one. Crispchat is fine but I feel like we were actually getting somewhere with the NIP stuff - I think if I'm going to support it I really do want the full story of what happened with the no-platforming thing. If both Rumda and C-NIP (and anyone else who was about) could find the time to write a little more about what, exactly, happened, I think a lot of people would appreciate it. Whether I support the NIP depends on it, cos I really would find it hard to support a party that thinks platforming fash and terfs is cool and good. I could handle some people naively believing it is but if that's the only acceptable position in the party then... yeah, not good.

Yeah, when I was doing chef training, it was pretty distressing to discover how low the bar is for 5*, and how many restaurants apparently don't meet that. And even if you get pulled up for something egregious, most of the time it's "If you promise you'll fix that at some point, you can stay open".

What's worse is that none of the delivery apps bother telling you the ratings of the filth holes you're ordering from. Displaying your rating isn't even a legal requirement in England.
