Mental isn't it. Everywhere here you are hammered to recycle and reduce waste.

Then you find out that recycling means you not only get a nice bowl of cereal but it's sprinkle with toxins.

I'll stick with bacon sandwiches.

Dr Koni Grob the Toxicologist. That's got to be made up, surely.

The spokeswoman for the British Egg Society is Lucy Eggerton. That's not made up.

Egg Society? Really?
What do they do? Contemplate egg recipes? Best way a hen is getting laid?

I used to know a Mr Drinkwater who worked for Thames Water.

And my mother used to work for the organisation which promotes British cheese, sublimely called The Cheese Board.

Nio strictly in the same theme but I had a pair of biology teachers at my school called Mr Gay and Mr Bent. Needless to say their existence was miserable. Though not as miserable as the only real life Michael Hunt I've ever (perhaps knowingly) met, who took geography.

We had a biology supply called Dr. Death...she insisted it was De'ath but when you are 12 it's the best thing ever.

I sat opposite a family on a train whose luggage tags revealed them to be the Cumberpatch family. I really hoped dad was called Quentin.

The only Michael Hunt I've ever met didn't call himself Michael or Mick or Micky...

Shortly after starting a new job, one new colleague, who didn't say his h's, introduced him to me: "We're the two Mikes - I'm Mike Brown and this is Mike 'unt".

I was a little taken aback!

That's what happens when you don't take recycling seriously, and think of it as spin or a marketing gimmick.

Or any new development that's related to health and food actually.
