lookwhaticando Posted 26 June 2008 Posted 26 June 2008 Grocer's anger at small kiwi rule A fruit and veg wholesaler faces throwing away an entire consignment of Chilean kiwis because inspectors said they were too small. Tim Down, from Bristol, said he could not even give away the 520 fruit, each of which is about the size of a small hen's egg and weighs about 60g. "I was given 24 hours to think about it and my outrage grew," he said. A spokesman for the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) said the consignment failed to meet EU grading rules. ---------------- Absolutely ridiculous. And to think stuff like this has been happening for years.

James. Posted 30 June 2008 Posted 30 June 2008 That's literally ridiculous!A bit like this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7481715.stm Didn't someone once get awarded TOP marks in a philosophy exam by answering the question, "What's the bravest thing you've ever done?" with a single word... "This."?

Thracian Posted 30 June 2008 Posted 30 June 2008 It's not so much different to the lunacy of Harriet Harman's Equalities Bill. Basically, given a supposedly level playing field, if you're white or male you're fecked. What will she think of as her next act of unifying genius? Perhaps, like those Kiwi fruit, she'll find out the average height of job applicants and decide that anyone taller or shorter by six inches should have preference. And to think. These are our graduates, the supposed cream of our thinkers. No wonder the Party is finishing fifth behind the BNP in by-elections. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7474801.stm
The People's Hero Posted 30 June 2008 Posted 30 June 2008 It's unified two people, Thracian. You and I have found something we agree on, Harriet Harman is an idiot.
