I watched a fisherman come in to Carihuela beach this afternoon. He got totally surrounded by people apparently trying to buy his catch.
Gonna look for a boat and fishing rod tomorrow to buy.

Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often

From today's Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... ivers.html
I like the bit that says "British tourists reported being targeted. David Copestake, 40, an estate agent with a holiday home on the Costa del Sol, said his car was pelted with stones. "One rock smashed into the windscreen, heading straight for my head," he said."
Doesn't he realise, it wasn't because he was a Bristish tourist...

Plus there’s always ‘wild food’ growing in the campo.

Well it reflects worst on David Copestake, what a dipstick. How irresponsible of the Telegraph to report so inaccurately, everyone who breaks the strike lines was being targeted, even our local supermarket had a lorry blockading the entrance and police were turning shoppers away to defuse the incident.......do you think Gordon has asked them to stop the drain of the earners to spain..??
Sorry to go back to this again, but I see the Tonight prog is about sell-by dates so may be interesting. I am appalled by the amount of food that is apparently wasted in the UK - not quite sure how they know what is thrown away, but I rarely chuck anything outWicksey wrote:You must be too young to remember days before the 'invention' of sell-by date . We have eaten natural yoghurt that is well past its best-before date, we just open things and if they smell and taste OK we eat them. I once used some Oxo Indian cubes 10 years past their sell-by date (that was when I was staying at a friend's house who is the ultimate hoarder) . It doesn't happen that often as we tend to use most of our cupboard stock quite regularly, but there's always something lurking at the back that gets forgotten, isn't there .karandjon wrote:Am i the only person who checks her cupboards on a regular basis for any items approaching their date and bins them or use them before they expire? or maybe i just have OCD....?

I'm with you Wicksey. If it smells ok, tastes ok and isn't green and furry (not counting kiwi fruit!) it gets eaten. My huge jar of Marmite must be 5 years old, there are 2 yoghurts in my fridge that are 2 months out of date but will get used and as for herbs and spices, stock cubes etc, they are positively collectors' items in my house!
I agree about the waste and must admit that we lob enough out each week to make a couple of banquets ................but if they do insist on putting sell-bys' on then I'm afraid I just feel ill at the thought of eating something that's 30 seconds over!
