You have culture? You kept that pretty quiet, because I certainly haven't seen much evidence of any.

They don't have that in America either do they? .... At least not on the "bread", my wife bought a loaf back in 2007 and half of it still in the fridge looking as "nutritious" as the day she bought it.

Not always true. I bought a loaf of bread that I have bought continuously for a couple years (very spendy @ $5.48). Neglected to check the expiration date which was 2 days out, a few days later it was green. I received a full refund but now always check the date.

It gets up my nose when someone does it when placing an order or requesting a price at work. And when silly trolls do it on forums when trying to pick a fight.....

Ah yes. I had pictured a different scenario - buying a sausage roll in Gregg's.
