Someone at work is clearly under the delusion that 'best before' means 'Don't Eat Even If It's Just Before This Date Let Alone After Or You Will Die Horribly'. Three times in November/December I found bags of perfectly good food in bins, including a load of cake & cereal bars plus five Christmas puddings (one M&S four Huntley & Palmer) which were dated January 23. Had the M&S one a couple of weeks back, and nothing wrong with it.
