Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

No, CStar, but lots of skin conditions benefit from generous use of moisturisers or scalp treatments and soap substitutes. And then there's sunscreen, and toothpaste, and mouthwash ...

You should be able to get all sorts of stuff on prescription for nodular prurigo, CStar. Maybe not milkshakes and puddings, but if you move to a new GP and tell them it's dermatitis herpetiformis you'll be able to get biscuits and pasta :)

That in an office of about 30 people there are at least 7 different kinds of milk in the fridge. There’s the UHT milk paid for by the company which barely anyone uses. Then there’s at least 2 bottles of semi-skimmed milk, for people who don’t want UHT milk. There’s a bottle of blue-topped full fat milk for those who don’t like semi-skimmed. There’s red-topped skimmed milk for some who are on the 5:2 diet (because the 4 calorie saving in your tea is that important). There’s an orange topped milk and a purple topped milk which I think are 1%/0.1% fat. Then there’s the Tupperware canister labelled “breast milk” even though it isn’t, it’s just someone not wanting anyone else to steal her milk.

So whenever you try to make a cup of tea for people, one person wants the orange milk, one person wants the blue milk, you have to check with someone else if they’re on a 500 calorie day to see if they want the green milk or the red milk, one person wants green milk but make sure to use her bottle of green milk because Tracey in HR accused him of stealing her milk last week.. nightmare.

Quite frankly, I just pick one of the bottles of milk and use that for all the cups of tea I make that round. No one seems to be able to tell the difference. At least, they’ve never mentioned it.

EZ: You forgot soya milk. Or that no-lactose stuff. That could cause actual issues if you messed that one up...
