Consecutive days, 24 hours a day?
Strewth.
The Canadian accounts I have never warn me in advance of anything, I just get the odd "sorry, not available now" (but not for long).

UK banks always warn a few days in advance of 'maintenance' but it's only a few hours at a time and understandably timed for UK night time.

Everyday from 5pm Nov 9th to sometime on Nov 14. They say mid-day on the 14th.

Won't really affect us since there wont be anything in the bank at the time.

Having a trip?

Yes, a short one. My dad retires on Friday this week, and he got us tickets to come down and visit and go over to AZ to see the Grand Canyon and visit my sister for his first week of retirement.

Bought a juice maker today and put a half dozen oranges thru it. Wowzas it don't taste like the sugary box juice what so ever, very tangy !! Maybe should have took the skins off ?

What are you comparing it to, Concentrate or Not Concentrate?

I don't think Not Concentrate has added sugar. Now I'm used to drinking that I don't really like Concentrate anymore. But not because of Sweetness, I find Concentrate a bit to acidy.

Comparison is with boxed orange that says 100% pure orange juice, when it is mostly 29% loaded with sugar, colouring and flavouring, not Robinsons barley water type orange

Sounds like Concentrate then.

Have you tried Tropicana "never from concentrate"? That's my number one.
Choice of Pulp, No Pulp, Extra Pulp.

There was a 'Marketplace' ( or similar) slot on orange juice a while back. I can't exactly remember how it worked, but the 'not from concentrate' wording on orange juice like Tropicana, and similar juices was a slight trick. It is not freshly squeezed, but had some sort of (entirely natural) flavour put back in. All something to do with production times, and annualising the production, or something.

All the testers had the difference explained, and were surprised by how processed it was. But in the end just about everyone chose the Tropicana type, over the freshly squeezed, because it just tasted better.

No I don't drink store bought orange juice as it's full of sugar, a one litre box is approx 30 grams of sugar. That's added sugar.

I have seen a few recipes for heart healthy juices including beets, carrots and apples etc. I will try some of them this week

I haven't bought juice in a long time and have no idea if this brand is in Canada, however I did drink it often in the US, they proclaim they add no water or sugar to their juice, but who knows, tasted better vs any of the other store bought juices..

I remember as a kid in the 80's and maybe into the 90's the grocery stores had this machine, loaded with oranges, you would put the glass container under the spout, push a button oranges went in and out came juice.

Don't think they exist anymore in mainstream grocery stores.

A quick google shows a long standing legal case against Tropicana concerning their claims of how natural it is. The class action alleges their claim "is improper because the juice is pasteurized and contains added flavoring and coloring."

This sounds like what you mention but is quite different to Magnum's idea of it being sweetened.

I think you're confusing natural sugars with added sugar.

It's the same with baked beans, jam and muesli. If you compare the nutritian labels of the "no added sugar" version with the ordinary one, there is still sugar in it, but less than the ordinary one.

Orange juice is sweet and does have a high amount of sugar. That's been known for some time. But then oranges are sweet too, especially the sweet ones.

There was something announced the other day about the juicers destroying a lot of what was supposed to be good.

Do you mean something like this



or this....

Damn, I can't find one. It was a sort of tank with juice in and a blade revolved slowly and there were whole oranges in it...just for effect.

Maybe I am seeing the sugar content Bristol, and thinking gee what a lot of sugar when it's actually normal. The oranges I juiced do taste better, and I know there is no additives which I like. Although I only drink a small amount per day.

What I really like to do is try the veggie juices, so rather than spending 20 mins munching on a bunch of veggies (which I would not do) I can get a health hit in a small glass

My cardio guys says I have to raise my HDL as it is on the low side and this is a way to jump start that

Not too far off, just not as modern looking...lol It was the 80's after all...
