The way when you drop something small onto the floor and then seems to vanish off the face of the earth and then you find it eventually somewhere were you never thought in a million years it would end up.

f**king curling. Why do the Brits have to be good at the most mind-numbing sports? It's the same in the Summer Olympics, where they're deadly at horse riding and sailing.

Is it legal to sell products past their 'best before' date?

Shops are allowed to sell food after its 'best before' date has passed. 'best before' dates are concerned with quality rather than safety, so it doesn't mean that the food is dangerous if the 'best before' date has passed. However, if you buy food after the date, remember that it might no longer be at its best.

'Use by' dates are different to 'best before' dates and it is against the law to sell any food that has passed its 'use by' date. Using it after this date could put your health at risk.

In all cases, whether or not the 'best before' date has expired, the law says that food sold must not put people's health at risk and must not be falsely or misleadingly described or presented.

Aye,
   but how are you meant to know that they're past that date stuck in a feckin machine and they weren't at a knock down price either.

Sneaky f**kers..

Firstly, let me apologise for any inconvenience caused with regards to the snack vending offering we provide in XXXX.  The recent occurrences of out-of-date stock are unacceptable and due to human error on behalf of our vending staff.  I can assure you that all our staff are trained in the importance of checking for out-of-date stock on every visit and have signed training records to this effect.   

Our vending supervisor is re-briefing all staff on Friday morning as to the importance of this aspect of their job and that any future breeches will result in disciplinary action. I have also arranged for a vending driver to recheck the snack machines tomorrow morning.

Kind Regards

That's utter shite, those lads only put into a machine what they are given and these crisps were over 6 weeks out of date, so you'd expect them to load the van every day, not every two months or so.
Institutionalised deceit.

Why are you singing in the library, people who, sing, talk, fidget, kick chairs, click pens in libraries grind my gears.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.
