Already drooling at its sweet creamery
But the date on the pot was over a week ago -
he'll have to have something else for his tea.

Its out of da-ate, It's out of da-ate
Its gone and reached its ex-pi-ry
And you're not going to have what you want from that grocery
Although you just wanted some yoghurt for tea.

Off to the phone he dashed with his angry voice,
Phoned up the man from the Coles grocery
And he shouted and raged and gave him all that he's got
I WANTED YOGHURT FOR MY BLOODY TEA


(the things you'll do rather revise for an exam. Tomorrow)
Fixed that for you. xxx

Fab, it could be put to a bollywood track and we could all be dressed in saris and bollywood dancing for the film clip - it'd go viral.

I have a ribeye steak which I gave to the dog, all because I defrost it then got too busy to cook it. Probably would have been fine..
No what happens is the leading supermarket dupes the markets and its investors by claiming their profits for the last 6 months were £250 mill more than they really were.

BBC News - Tesco suspends execs as inquiry launched into profit overstatement

And one of the leading banks gets both a £38 mill fine from the FCA and a US $15 mill fine from the US regulatory authority on the very same day as Tesco woes (Tesco lost 12% of it's market capitalisation value in a few hours). They unduly risked £16.7 mill of clients funds in their Casino, sorry Investment, arm of the bank over a 5 year period!

1 pot of Yoghurt past best before date much more significant of course.

Aldi and Lidl are causing mayhem in the UK supermarket industry with Tesco and Morrison's the 2 main ailing firms as a result of this competition.

Well, to be fair, one pot of yoghurt past its best before date IS much more significant to a shopper in Australia.
