I didn’t ask for it, don’t want it and can’t think of anyone who might appreciate it. A waste of energy in producing and transporting it! One of ours is a holder for the children's cutlery. The other is used to hold pens and pencils on my home desk.

RunningRonnie 2 May 11:56am, 2 May 2024 3,093 posts	0 RunningRonnie Finding only 8 fish fingers in the box instead of 10. Do I reduce my portion to 4 fish fingers, meaning I still have 2 portions in the box? Unlikely. Do I use 5 fish fingers as usual, leaving only 3 in the box? Pointless. Do I eat 8 fish fingers now instead of 5? Of course. Do I now buy twice as many packs as I used to and get a bit fatter? Probably.

Probably. 4 fishfingers fit perfectly on white sliced bread to make a fishfinger sandwich. 3 or 5 are no use. 8 is perfect, two sandwiches.
