How on earth can you consume the froth on your latte when Starbucks only give you a little wooden stick?  I think the Australians have the best idea. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7540480.stm

I wonder if, in view of concerns about obesity in the UK, they deliberately make opening bacon packets so difficult?

Just noticed JimBob's comments on "Microsoft Works" and agree 100%..especially after working all weekend...
 
(With the exception of Excel, which I adore...sad but true...although the OpenOffice version is just as good)
 
Rant over....I promise

You keep on ranting, Elfie.  Hears another one - Why is the heat seal on packaged foodstuffs, such as rice & pasta, stronger than the plastic bag, so that when you try to open the bag it tears leaving the heat seal intact?

Hear hear, Jimbob ... and why does clingfilm only cling to itself in the box so you get a miserable thin strip when you try to draw it out?

Aren't apples & pears grown in the UK anymore!  How come our shops are full of apples & pears from South Africa, New Zealand, Chile & Brazil?

Why do "Tear here" tabs break off before they achieve the purpose?
