    In Japan they have two types of dates, which map to “Use by” and “Best before”, but they don’t use them interchangeably or some vague middle-of-the-road term like “expiry date”. One is operative, the other is a recommendation.

    消費期限 (shouhi-kigen) literally means “consumption time limit” and 賞味期限 (shoumi-kigen) literally means “guarantee of taste time limit”.















  • Well, I do remember being worried about whether I could ever be within 2 metres of anyone else ever again…

    That said, I have learned really that it takes an event that kills millions spread all over the world at essentially the same time for people and our legislatures to act. I thought nothing would ever get us to do anything seriously about the climate crisis but when we all stayed home for a bit we actually managed to reverse the upward trend in emissions for a time.




  • This is assuming you are expected by your council to clean it “thoroughly enough”.

    After you eat/drink the contents, a very quick rinse is all that’s needed. Little stains aren’t going to be bad for recycling.

    If you’ve left it for a while and are worried, a simple but surefire way to clean out any significant gunk would be these steps:

    • Make sure you have a strainer on your sink drain if your plumbing system is fragile.
    • Fill every can or jar with water to near the top
    • Wait 15 minutes
    • pour out a can into the sink
    • fill the can with a bit of water and shake the last bits out
    • pour and lightly rinse the rest of the cans in the same way
    • bin the gunk caught by the strainer.
