Catch the water when you're changing rad valves
I guess that is one use! I might just wash them and keep them stored away, and make a point of taking them with me when I next get a curry
Slightly off topic now. There's no guarantee the Thai place won't take them back and, instead of re-using them, put them in the bin.
There was talk earlier of Tesco reverting back to plastic egg boxes...this is perhaps explained because most of the UK cardboard is being snapped up by Amazon and the like. As someone who used to work in an egg-box making factory I find this a little surprising though, as egg boxes (moulded fibre packaging) are usually made from old cardboard and paper; after Amazon have used them, so there should be plenty of the stuff around.

I mean, take them back when I order more food. It is a street food sort of place, they serve straight from big pots of ready made curry (you can order some off the menu too, but I go there for speed and convenience, and their pot curries are always great. So I'll hand them the plastic and say fill me up! If they refuse I'll call them Plastic Polluters and walk away.

Don't throw them in the Pacific.
Or boated in.
I don’t know, it was two years ago.
No, in response to an article of how we are going to lose out when we left the EU, I just looked in my fridge and saw I had virtually **** all from Europe.
Yes, and I found by pure chance that I wasn’t buying from the EU.
Mostly we eat out but when we do buy our supplies, we will be getting it from the same place where we always get it from - the Spanish supermarket. Is that so odd?
As for sourcing my food at home, I mainly get it from our local supermarket. Where they get it from is not my concern. If they have it and I want it, I’ll buy it. If Johnny Euroforeigner wants to make it difficult for Sainsbury’s to import their supplies from Europe, I’ll leave it to Mr Sainsbury to source it elsewhere. I’m sure he knows how. Two months in from Brexit and I still haven’t noticed any shortages or price increases so either Johnny Euroforeigner is all bluster or Mr Sainsbury is getting supplies for me from elsewhere.
To be accurate, it was the UK that decided to resign its membership of the Single Market and the Customs Union.
No nation, before Britain, has ever entered trade negotiations with the aim of making trade more difficult.
Well, it’s Johnny Euroforeigners right to not sell his goods to us. He'll just have to stop growing so much stuff then, won’t he?

I think it is all our duty to buy British. I don't expect remainers to boycott EU goods. For all those who voted brexit I cant see it doing any harm by boycotting EU goods or at least cutting down what we buy and replacing with either British or products from our business partners around the world.
Some things are easier to go without than other things.
Im mean your not going to give up a new Audi for a Kia. so do what you can.

EU is our biggest trading partner by a country mile
UK businesses export a lot there
UK businesses import a lot from there
Brexiters somehow think there's an advantage buying stuff from thousands of miles away
For what reason other than being childish?
They started it.
Just tell us why we can’t just sell to them and buy from them without all the other rules and regs? Sort of like a common market....
oxymoron
its not a common market without rules and regs.
the EU took all the different regulations and put them into one single rule book
and once it had done that everybody could trade without having to have checks at the borders...you know like transit documents, customs declarations, vet inspections.
the Single Market front loads the red tape...so that businesses can then sell and buy with no barriers.
