I purchased today on my way home from work four tins of beer to drink. Unfortunately having got them home, and opening one to a massive explosion of foam despite it resting in my fridge for the past 3 hours, I've discovered one went out of date in May, the other three in August.

As it was a local off-license type thingy, I wasn't given a receipt, but I should be able to march in on Monday morning and demand a refund, ja?

This isn't the first time I've had problems with things being out of date in that shop. I've bought out-of-date Mini Eggs there, but put that down to a one off. I should be suspicious that now, 6 months after Easter, they still have Creme Eggs for sale.

Oh you've never truly been disappointed by a Creme egg until you've found on that's gone hard inside. Anyway, depending on how evil you're feeling, you COULD report them to the council for selling that shit.

Did I mention I work for the council now?

Ooh, better and talk of expired Creme Eggs is always good for me too. Send them up the river.

Eek! You don't have to deal with the great british public do you?

Yes, the great unwashed. Sigh, such is life.

Some of them actually do stink mind.

Have you been called "jobsworth" by idiots yet?

No, not had that pleasure yet.

I was yelled at by a bloke who forgot he'd taken out a library book for his wife on his card though. Until he remembered.
