I do believe believe the Vietnamese are used widely in the cultivation of cannabis in Europe. Simply because they care for the crop religiously, sleeping and eating by it. It's the same as what they do back home. And the same as the Karen tribe in the Golden Triangle.

An ex-colleaugue told me cannabis is actually fairly easy to grow in your garden, which he said he did. I think the lights etc are to speed up production.
I've never checked his claims out as I'm not interested in smoking (or dealing) but he wasn't the type to spin a yarn.
Yes, my old neighbours used to grow it indoors in a pot. Oddly enough, the landlady worked for Custom & Excise, as it was then known, walked past it without noticing!

M&S are scrapping their best before dates. Is it, as they say, to encourage customers to use their own judgement or are they going to be flogging food that's gone off?

In any case, it's discriminating against the noseless!

That did look a bit like "MRS are scrapping their best before dates." I know mine has. :D

"Best before" was a ploy to get you to throw away food that was as good the day after as it was the day before.

... is it a quiet day? The water cooler seems to have more than the usual suspects around it. :) Might as well bin work and go to the pub.

People often confuse "use by" with "best before". Use by requires a little more caution, especially if it's meat or fish, but best before is often safe a long time after, it just loses quality.

Yeah, there is a fair bit of waiting time between matches, matches not going in-play or getting suspended. I think I'll get back to prehistoric Britain. :)

I suppose the one benefit of a 9-second delay is you can place a bet and pour yourself a drink or go to the toilet.

She should have know you're CEO of a Fortune500 company with urgent places to be and important people to see, maybe she mistook you for some layabout gambler? :)
