If you don’t put it forward, you don’t have to put it back. Just remember that during summertime your food will be ready an hour later than you thought.

Never actually use it to time food, it just annoys me if it's wrong. OCD or old age, who knows

When my wife fails to remove the plastic seal from either ketchup or brown sauce bottles but still puts them on the table.

Folk who dont remove packaging before sticking something in the fridge or freezer.

You need the packaging to know the temperature and time for cooking the content. Not everything can be cooked from frozen, some needs defrosting first.

I can honestly say I never read cooking instructions on packaging, nor do I ever really cook anything relying on time. I judge everything myself by eye and touch and the occasional temperature probe.

So you are happy to risk food poison because you didn't defrost a chicken or fish dish?

Stick to eating Scouse.

Eh? When did I say that I don’t defrost things. I think I am well qualified in food safety to do things properly 😉

Stick to what you know best.

And I’m not a fan of Scouse 😁

I should have been more specific.
Magnum , cornetto and icepole boxes just stuck in the drawer without removing the contents.

Packets of yogurts stuck in the frudge without being removed from,the packaging.
Eggs in an egg box WTF?

How come when a shop goes out of business the Lady Boys of Bangkok are always getting in? Posters everywhere.

I only do it when someone tells me to. I expect the next stage will be to put full stops in between.

Let. That. Sink. In.

Eggs shouldn't be put in the fridge!
Think about where things are stored in the supermarket: milk (fridge), butter (fridge), yoghurt (fridge), eggs unrefrigerated shelves. . ..

Not sure if it’s been mentioned already, but people that stand at the front of the bus when there’s plenty seats available. Got on a bus earlier and there were 4 separate people blocking the isle at the front, when there only 6 people sitting down. Anyone getting in or off had to fight there way past these idiots who were all staring at their phones having zero awareness of the fact people are trying to get past them.

Most amateur bloggers full stop.

Let's write a diary, jazz it up with some emotions and personal life details and then put it online to get some attention and pretend I'm part of a "community".

Bawbags.

Free loading food bloggers annoy me, they write some amount of pish pretending to be expert food critics.

For me it's the travel blogs, I don't know when it happened but it seems nowadays anyone that goes on a two week holiday can pass themselves off as a modern day Indiana Jones off on an adventure to find the lost ark.

Some retail shops have already got their Xmas trees, Xmas lights and tinsel’s out already.

Self service checkouts in supermarkets.

'Pleas wait while the assistant verifies your bags'
'Unexpected item in bagging area'
'Please wait while we check your age'.

You know what would be easier? Someone actually serving me. They can dress it up all they want as being about 'consumer choice' but what it comes down to is saving money by being able to employ a few less staff per store and pressuring remain staff into believing they should be ridiculously grateful for the job they have.

I always make a point of not using them if at all possible.

You might be right but what are the egg holders in fridge for ?

Eggs should be kept in the fridge, Supermarket ambient temperatures are far lower than your house. Best place is in the actual fridge not the door as the temperature fluctuates far too much in the door compartment.

I made the mistake of buying a fridge with a salad compartment. Ever since I've been scouring supermarkets for vegetables on refrigerated display, but no luck yet.

You might be right about ambient temperatures, but my wife bakes/sells celebration cakes and she doesn't keep the eggs in the fridge. She claims she gets a better rise from eggs at room temp rather than chilled. The eggs don't seem to go off any quicker when stored out of the fridge so I'm not sure what the benefit is?

I take them out of the fridge well before I use them too as the whites tend to be very thick and slow running when cold. Pretty much like cooking steak, I would never dream of cooking a steak straight from the fridge. We store them (eggs)in fridges in restaurants too and the EHO agrees so maybe that’s why I tend to do so. Everyone will have their own opinions.
