Cripes....i am fed up today....it's beautiful and sunny and i wanted to sunbathe today, but got a phone call to go to work...to help a couple who have got timeshares they don't want...they are coming from Scotland to the Midlands...so i really do have to go in and help them... Anyway, i digress...i have my thinking head on today...and after watching the main news today, i understand from what we are told, that the average British family throw away 600pds of food a year, edible just not required... That brought back thoughts to last week at my daughters house....her partner is a farmer, and most weeks, pallet loads of food are driven to his farm with food for cattle...now i could understand this if it is out of date food or mouldy etc to supplement the cattles daily diet...but...no....pallets of chocolate gateaux, croissants, whole...yes whole boxes of weight watchers chocolate caramel cakes..hmmm yummy....and all within date...????....what on earth is going on...ok...our family benefit from yummy cakes and things...not me because i am on a diet...but how absolutely crazy....what about the homeless, old peoples homes, the poor...???...i just don't get it...and he is just 1 farmer, how much more food gets wasted in this way.... Well gotta go...couple arrived, got to help them now... Enjoy the sun here in the UK everyone....

I'm loving the sunshine too. Long may it last! It's a scandal - cows having chocolate cake n'all. Might fatten them up, but cows are supposed to eat grass. They weren't designed to eat cakes! Wonder if the quality of the milk is affected. Hey ho!

There are farmers here that get semi truck loads of that kind of food. Such a waste.

Can somebody divert them foodstuffs to Myanmar, please???? That is, if their twit of a government will let it through.

The majority of the food comes from sainsburys and tescos...it's wicked...!!!!....what you said about people on your hubbies bus reminds me of when i used to do stand up presentations to groups of people and they all had to agree with me that when brits go to tenerife or somewhere hot the first thing a load of them do is moan how hot it is...crazy... ...enjoy your weekend...Rachel...

Hmmmm DB, i think you would like me to torture you... ...and please don't cry, you will get me upset too...!!!...now, you remember, i am doing a lottery ticket for you this week, and if the numbers come up, you can come over here, stay in my daughters partners barn and eat all the choccy you like with the cows... ...but i know that you are a very kindhearted man and would want to give the choccy cakes away to people more needy than you...

I work at a park and people throw away a lot of food in the garbage. It really irks me how wasteful people are in the U.S. too. Another thing that bothers me is that people are throwing their TV's away in the forests, instead of properly disposing of them, because next year we are required to get new ones that are high definition. Crazy! Have a great weekend and enjoy some sun! 
If you can't convince them, confuse them!
