Everyone puts a loaf of bread in their freezer Mrs Johnson, all of them, have done that for years and yes its not as tasty but it makes fine toast if you cant get to the shop or the boat is not working. Problem solved So instead of theres a boat in the morning, it will be "putin" a loaf in your freezer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved Always knew Carrie was a weirdo. But I know Mrs NoTail has 2 or 3 loaves in our freezer. So she's a weirdo too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Oddly enough, that's Boris' favourite song!' Before the Mrs left she gave some good advice, put some bread in the freezer and don't let Taxis park out front!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you recall the fruit grower up north of the island going bust courtesy of M&S? yes, the raspberry farmer man from kirkmichael IIRC, a very nice gentleman.

Not M&S. He sued. Wanted millions. Got £18k. He’d qualified for Legal Aid. Got an English solicitor and a QC. They put in a bill for nearly £500.000. That’s what Legal Aid paid them. The court allowed less than £100,000. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Still a win against the 'System' though? Even if a financial loss? What did the legal aid team settle for in the end? Any Idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It paid his legal team £500,000 and recovered £100,000. So it cost the taxpayer £400,000 to recover £18,000. But as the other £100,000 came from DEFA it was spend £500,000 to win £18,000.

Kopek Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Wasn't the M & S reason something like Packaging, in the end? The B of Ag said, go for it , M&S said, maybe but in the end , No thanks? I think I might support a D of Ag controlling somethings, like, no, you can't raise Beef Cattle, we have enough? Get us growing what we need, not what Farmers Weekly says we need? Ban live exports and then they can't say they were not warned? Edited April 7, 2022 by Kopek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for quality products, that's all about compliance with requirements, nothing else. Interesting responce. I wonder how many people realise that the definition that I gave is in essence the ISO definition that "The totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs". In simpler words, one can say that a product has good quality when it "complies with the requirements specified by the client Edited April 7, 2022 by Eris Tidy grammar!

joebean Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) As a person who cannot eat wheat, I have to buy the gluten-free bread at £3.50-ish a loaf. It’s not very good either and, as a result I don’t eat much bread. I’m still quite well nourished. Nobody is going to starve as a result of Ramsey Bakery closing. This is a decent read, as usual; https://fearandloathing2021.wixsite.com/fearandloathingblog/post/all-is-not-well-in-camberwick-green-says-windy-miller Edited April 8, 2022 by joebean 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
