Oh, I dunno. Depends whether ‘Beware of the Limpet’ counts, I s’pose.

Gosh some vendors are trying. Trying hard, I mean. I have just got a parcel wrapped all in plastic, but with a paper label with my address on it. So far so fair enough. But they have put the address label on immediately on top of the only printing on the plastic, which therefore reads “This bag is” (paper label) “e.” That meant it might have said anything from “This bag is recyclable” or “This bag is non-recyclable” to “This bag is inflammable” or even “This bag is inscrutable.” When I scraped some of the label off to find out, what it said was “This bag is 100% recyclable.”, which would be true except that while the plastic goes in one bin, the paper needs to go in another, and neither can be recycled if traces of the other are attached. So I will have to do the usual thing of cutting round the label, putting that and its attendant plastic in the landfill rubbish, and the rest into the film recycling – which has to be taken to the film collection bin in a supermarket rather than left out for the dustmen to collect.
Life was ever so much simpler when the planet was infinite and we could throw anything away however we felt like!

I hope the local press has been informed. Our lot would be on that like a rat up a drainpipe.

'Twas smoked salmon and haddock kedgeree, chez bee, with green beans. I do fancy those glorious-seeming crisps, mind. Thinking about cheese, I made my best gratin topping the other day, with grated mature Gouda and Panko breadcrumbs - yum.
GS will be visiting, tomorrow, so the menu will be scampi, chips and capers followed by home-made fruit salad. He may also be offered ice cream, if he’s being ‘good’.

The topping does sound yum. I wouldn’t turn down scampi chips & capers either, tbh.
The crisps were rather good, and genuinely tasted camemberty. And are all gone, between the two of us.
