Alan,

Yet another good laugh. At least while the SEO subject is dead (or at the least stagnating) nice to be cheered up.
It does seem to me you are dipping into more than an egg.
And my wife thinks I have a weird train of thought.

Greek

Hey, just had a lingering thought, what was the conceptions like?

Hell of a party.
pity you missed it. ;-)

given the length of gestation, some might suggest a phantom pregnancy.
I think more likely a premature ejaculation.

Still Waiting

Driver, I have heard rumours about you before. Are those really your children?

Has anyone heard anything about SPhere building two new factories, one in Spain and one in France?
Or am I being fed bullshit?

Fred
Yes

Al
Who knows.

Ever the pessimist........
How long before a deal/roll out re greenseal.
This has got to be the quietest time of year , surely, for the packhouses.
I don't want to hear 'unfortunately, with the run up to xmas....." scenario/excuse again.



hello darkness my old friend.................
Oh and the answers to alans questions are
1. Yes , I think so.
2. everyones being fed on bullshit ....for we are mushrooms.

BPRG is in takeover mood. Any chance of them buying back SEO?

Last night's "crazy woman" on Wife Swap had it right ..... she actually goes totally OTT with removing all supermarket wrapping at the check-out, but as she did correctly observe, why do cucumbers (for instance) require any plastic wrapping at all when they are perfectly well protected by their own skin?

Food with clothes on lives longer!

Hi cynic,

I saw that and I thought if you're so "green" why not buy your fruit & veg in the local market, as it won't be wrapped and also it's more likely to be sourced closer to home. As for the "sexual assault", it beggared belief that she went to the police, or did she forget it was filmed and there were witnesses to what happened (or didn't happen in this case).

anni .... i preached that message on this thread some time back! ..... personally i HATE being forced to buy veg in my local supermarket, though thankfully we still have a really good fishmonger/butcher ..... baker is about to close but that is through retirement .... even so, one just knows it will not be replaced with similar or even a deli

If you are buying fruit and vegetables at a local market and they look good, have a look around the back of the vendor's to see what labels are on the crates they arrived in.

Because cucumbers are not.............they get scraped and have insects lay eggs on their surface / burrow into them etc.
The rights and wrongs of supermarket packaging are a splendid irrelevancy. The vast majority of people want their food packaged, albeit less so. A world where all consumers did as that lady, would be a world where we all caught a bus or rode our bikes and that is not going to happen.
Idealism is something to be aimed for and never achieved, and thats a good thing.
After all, how happy would you be popping to your local shop with a covered jug to buy a pint of milk. And doing it on foot.

As an afterthought on cucumbers;
I have a feeling that if we measured carbon footprints on a cucumber grown on a local farm, shipped to a local greengrocers and sold to a local person then per cucumber, it would be larger than that of one grown in the med, flown to the UK, shipped by lorry to a supermarket and sold as part of the weekly shop.
Why?
The local farm would, by nature, be less efficient. The plane would be flying anyway, full of british tourists and stuffed donkeys and most of the consumers would be buying for a family on a weekly or fortnightly basis. The storage and transportation would be chilled, but the wastage rate would be very low.
The local farmer, with his inefficiencies, would have to accept either a higher wastage rate due to contamination or very expensive and environmentally unfriendly measures merely to keep his cucumbers in good condition, as well as still keeping them chilled. Also the consumer is likely to be driving to his local shops more frequently than a once a week family shop.Think economies of scale applied to carbon rather than cash. All for the sake of saving a plastic wrapper.
Now imagine the best of both worlds with a fully biodegradable plastic wrapper and that is the sales pitch for SEO, assuming they ever make a sale.
I may be very wrong, but just to look at the packaging ignores the wider implications of what is going on.

ALAN - you know what i think of this company and the pity i feel for those still holding on through thick and thin ..... nothing personal and i confess there are too many other important economic ramifications surrounding today's fave topic of the famous carbon footprint .... my opinion of unnecessary packaging is also already well voiced, whatever it may be made from.

as a silly aside, wouldn't a carbon foot squash the cucumber (lol)?
i suspect that most imported cucumbers, like the tomatoes and peppers, come from NL or sometimes Spain, so the distance (sorry; the carbon footprint!) is not that terrible
