So… plenty of “treasure” to find yet!
It was Thursday afternoon at the factory where I used to work.
I remember noticing that a well-paid machinist used to carefully steam open his wage packet every week, extract the pay slip and a few £10 notes, and then he'd reseal it. Being a bit naive, I didn't realise what the score was. Eventually, my curiosity got the better of me so I asked him why he did that. He waved the wage packet at me and said "This is for my wife and kids ...", then waved the ten pound notes at me "... and this is my spending money". I asked him what his wife thought he did for spending money. He replied that she gave him spending money from the wage packet!

Pah - 5 or 6 years...I had a good sort out of my pantry last year. It was quite embarrassing to find things some of which were 5 or even 6 years out of date
All these 'Does xxx go off?' threads just reminded me of my mate's 40th birthday barbecue party which took place 13 years ago...
His mother had died when he was young so he had been living with his grandmother for a number of years, then she too died and he bought his own house. The years went by and eventually he became 40. He was having a do in his rather splendid back garden and I'd made sure that he got some veggie burgers in for me, and cooked them well away from the meat. I fancied some mustard on my food and he told me that there was a jar on the shelf in his kitchen. It was getting dark by then so I couldn't really see what I was doing when I spread the mustard on the burgers.
I took one big bite out of a burger and promptly spat it out all over my friend - it was absolutely foul! I ran into the kitchen and rinsed my mouth out, and then retrieved the jar of mustard which I took back into the kitchen to examine in the light. To my horror, I saw that it was...
8 years past its use-by date!!! The mustard was dark brown rather than bright yellow
So, I can tell you - Colman's mustard definitely does go off - eventually.

We were forecast to have rain all day, but I looked out of the kitchen window at lunchtime and saw that it had stopped. Quick - get cycling kit on and nip out for the lumpy 6 km Metro/Aldi loop. I had my kit on and was heading for the door with my bike, when I noticed that drizzle had started. Ok, do the less lumpy 4 km Metro/Aldi loop. I locked the door, got on my bike, and... the proper rain started up again. Damn... I sprinted to the station for the paper, then to Aldi for a few bits and pieces. This time I had remembered to take an old carrier bag to put over the saddle while I shopped. Sprint back.
We have had heavy rain overnight, then sunshine this morning, heavy thundery showers at lunchtime, with more sunshine, then bright skies this afternoon.
