You wouldn't believe how many people make weird insurance claims and then just stop communicating with their insurance companies, and then I have to go out there and get at least 10 seconds of video showing them bending over in a specific way, or a statement from them saying why they won't pick up the phone. And 75% of the time there's nothing sleazy or fraudish happening, they just don't feel like talking to an insurance company. Can't blame them.put into my coffee or tea.

Happens all too easily. Always good to hear from you when you have the time though man. Yeah I often get calls from my phone provider and just instantly hang up. Bit rude really but I just can't be bothered with that shit (they're also gonna try to sell me something tbf).

I have messed up splitting up your post here but I'm leaving it because it's funny.

It feels like there's a global downward trend lately. It's pretty fucking dire.

I only ask because I imagine him still out there, in the trees somewhere, like one of the Japanese Imperial soldiers that were convinced World War II was still going on deep into the 1960's.put into my coffee or tea.

Haven't seen him since! Which reminds me, I don't think @Jassassino never even posted the winning graphic?
Kestrel is definitely in the wilderness with his MP3 loaded with every Wham! song besides Last Christmas.

One of us is clearly wrong here, but I don't drink enough milk to know. It's just the liquid with a short lifespan in my fridge that I put into my coffee or tea.

The British government actually used to regulated the sale of milk and the cap colour was part of that. Back in the day you could go to prison for 3 months if you sold milk with the wrong coloured foil cap. That wasn't a thing by the time milk was being sold in supermarkets during the Milk Price Wars as the organisation that was in charge of it had been abolished so the colouring was down to the supermarkets, but customers who were used to one supermarket would constantly buy the wrong type of milk when going into another supermarket as there was a lack of any established scheme making it hard to discern which milk was which. This was causing a great deal of outrage so the British Retail Consortium decided to do something about it. The man who brought the supermarkets together in a GOT-esque meeting to tackle this issue previously worked at Marks & Spencers and he based the colours on the way M&S colour coded their different fat levels of cream. The shops all agreed it was an issue and agreed to the colour scheming and that was that. It is obviously correct.

I know red is whole and blue is 2%.

1% I've seen be light blue and skim be yellow. I'll have to check next time I'm at the store

Green is usually buttermilk (not a fan)

Brown is chocolate milk
