Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

It all has expiry dates but, AFAIK, unused kit isn't recycled.

Because there's a risk they will find their way onto the market after being binned if I had to guess why.
We have to use certified disposal places that guarantee destruction of the waste before it is further processed, which most likely means it ends in landfill as sorting it after would be too expensive

Yes, very likely. Would be very easy to render it unusable, though. Puncture the bag, or similar.

People who moan about pollution/microplastics in the food chain and merrily flush their daily disposables down the bog.

PS They don't seem to push it but many opticians will also take back and recycle the hard plastic lens cases.

My CFR kit includes stuff like this:

Yeah the whole medical and dental industries are among the worst non-recycling culprits. Just about every consumable in hospitals is 'disposable'. The waste containers are huge and a good size hospital generates humongous amounts of 'non-recycleables' even though they burn a lot of contam stuff (which isn't much better).

Those plastic floss 'banjos' tick me off too. (+ electric toothbrush heads).

How long before we understand when we throw stuff away - there is no 'away".

(+ electric toothbrush heads).

After use, which I admit is way longer than suggested, they get moved into the bathroom cabinet to clean glasses, after a brief stint there they get moved into the garage for cleaning duties, then if they're not covered in oil they get put in the recycling.

That doesn't sound like a technical role, is that who tells you the contract doesn't cover what you want and you need to upgrade it.

[KungFooBob]

Turns out someone had turned off auto-renew on the subscription, it actually ended a month ago and they had given us a month's grace before turning access to the apps off.

All working again now, cheers Von!

Beer pricing over here is a bit annoying.
We have lots of parties here and we provide the beer.
But 500ml cans are over double what 330ml are.
Our lads prefer pint cans over little 'uns so a bit of a pain.
And I have lots of chilled pints glasses in the bar fridge.
Small problems but can't work out their pricing

You've been out of Yorkshire too long. Buy some smaller glasses!

... we provide the beer.

AAMOI, do they host and provide the same?

If not, give your inner Yorkshireman some CPR!

Pints get warm too quickly, thats why the Spanish drink cañas, it's only the English that drink pints. The best way is to copy the Aussies, cold can in a beer cozy, it keeps a cold beer cold the longest.

The BBQs are in the cooler evenings.

I drink 400ml beers in daytime to keep cool.

So Heineken do cans in 330ml, 400ml and 500ml?

[KungFooBob]

On my recent visit to Corfu, I noticed that in pretty much all the bars a 'large' beer was 400ml.

[MrLongbeard]

Koozie.

[Mussels]

The only method I've ever seen Aussies use to stop beer warming up is to neck it as quickly as possible after it comes out of the cool box.
