Eek! A cherry muller light yoghurt rustler!

I caught someone using my flora last week. These thieves are EVERYWHERE!

I hope you gave the thief some justice upside-the-head.

It's the only way they'll learn.

Question: How the hell have I lived so long without this blog in my life?

Answer: F*** knows.

Cheers Tom!

By the way, sorry about 're-doing' your post, but I had to censor in case anybody reads this at work. Although I think out of the readership of 4 people only one of them seems to do so at work, and he's a temp. Maybe I shouldn't be so concerned!

This is a common problem in offices everywhere, but there is a solution. In my office, the trick is to write 'Sample' on a sticky label and mark up all the things you don't want touching. It's easy enough for me to say this as I work in the dairy industry, so our fridges to tend to get filled with a lot of real samples, and filtering out the genuine articles is nigh on impossible for thieves. But, being in the barcode....er, industry (?), you must be able to do something similar. Find random barcodes and stick loads on, it'd put me off, if I didn't have a trained eye....

I intend on reading the entire archive at work on Monday and Tuesday then I'm off to Leeds on Wednesday, another successful week for me :)

iP, sticking sample on food might just work. A sticker saying 'Free Yoghurt!' might put people off too, because we're all a little suspect of things that look too good to be true. I mean, who would give a perfectly good yoghurt away for free? Nobody! They're more likely to think 'Free Yoghurt!' is a political statement about releasing some gangsta rapper from death row.

Tom, wow... your job must be even more "exciting" than mine!
