sadietoo Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Oh no... nasty! I don't usually check the date either. As I don't eat meat or fish, I don't know if I can actually get food poisoning. Never try your luck with chilled rice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have stopped being sick, but still have dioherrea however, I can live with that. My whole body aches though, I feel like I have been punched several times over. Unfortunately the bug gets into all your joints and plays havoc with your body... hope you are feeling better soonxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Oh, poor you - thats just horrible I have had a few runins with our local Tesco about sell by/use by dates (its difficult to check EVERYTHING when you are doing a 'big' shop) and, on reporting it to Customer Services (not) they say that there are staff whose job it is to monitor the dates but they must have just missed the items that I bought!!!! How dare these retailers take risks with our health!? I have reccolections of a dodgy prawn sarnie from M&S in Reading about 20 years ago (it was very nasty!!!) and it has put me off buying the prawns/crayfish ect that I really love! The only consolation was that I lost 7lb in two days - not exactly the reccomended way to weight loss, tho! So big hugs and all sympathy to you; do give M&S hell; the least you should get is a freebie 'Dine in for Two' but possibly not just yet!!??

sadietoo Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 this has reminded me...when I worked in Brixton way back in the 80s the local M and S was absolutely appalling for going past sell by dates, and I complained and complained and I was told at the time they were only a "recommendation" Not happy with this, I wrote to head office, only to receive a very nice letter from the manager of the Brixham (Devon) shop saying how sorry he was, and inviting me to come in and talk to him I didn't have the heart to follow it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the Best Before that are a recommendation. Good news, I am feeling much much better... Even managed to eat almost properly yesterday and managed to keep my hairdressers appointment Still weakened by it all, and very stiff and achy, but relieved I will be able to go back to work tomorrow. I hate taking time off sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
