Today I acquired...........

Today I received a very unpleasant culinary surprise. Having messed about at various [generally non-productive] jobs today I was late in getting the curry organised and took the lazy way for the accompanying rice.

I stuck a packet of Lidl's finest 'Egg Fried Rice' in the m/wave and zapped for the requisite time. When opened & decanted onto my plate I was greeted with this......

I recalled a similar thing being posted on a forum recently [here or elsewhere, I can't find it now] and even commented that I'd used their product on and off over the years and never had any problems - spoke too soon, didn't I.....

A Google search revealed this from 2018 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-finds-dead-mouse-lidl-13466245

I'll be writing to Lidl tomorrow........

A flat battery on the new to me Grand Cherokee

No problem, quick jump start and we are rolling but quickly discover the electric windows have stopped working and not so quickly discovered the heater is now stone cold

The drivers window on the forester packed in the other week. You have to reach inside the door cavity with a ratchet and a Phillips head screwdriver bit, exerting enough force to break the loctite they used at the factory. It’s a horrible job to do.

Most of that rice is made in the same factory regardless of brand. Tilda have one down in Rainham

[DennisCA]

Well it's put on reserve for me over the holidays, will check shipping and get back to me, but as long as it's not too bloody I'll get it (only domestic shipping)

It's a slotting head for my mill.

Something for the haters.

I’ve got one of those getting rusty in the garden. Was gonna chuck it away. Are they worth anything?

Just....2.2 .and if that not big enough then this joshua will thread up to 6.5 inches....

Might be bread, but there was no way I was eating any of that rice......it stank too.

I retained the pack but the rice is in the bin. I couldn't find an email address for them so had to fill in Lidl's proforma [couldn't get the pics to upload there ] and offered to post the outer pack to them or Trading Standards for investigation. I also reported that I'd mentioned it on the internet, given the media reports back in 2018.

It'll be interesting to see what their reaction is, I have the contact details of the CEO should it become necessary......

Today I acquired a Christmas present to myself - a couple of beautiful handmade bookmarks from one of my favourite youtubers. Ordered these back in November and didn't expect them to make it over from the antipodes in time for Christmas, so it was a nice surprise when they showed up today.

 

[Agroshield]

Just....2.2

Maybe you can call it an honourable draw as 2" BSP is actually bigger than 2.2".

 

[Hood]

Nope, main reason is I am not strong enough to use anything bigger

I am sure there is more down there that can rival

This is the site for access to the 'top man' in a Company. I've used it in the past [as has a friend] to good effect - really gets results, the top guy doesn't like being bothered by the hoi poloi and rattles cages further down the food chain....
