      I don't see two arrows. I do however see a series of dots, which if I stare at for 30 seconds I can clearly see a lion drinking from a waterhole and in the background a herd of wilderbeast are roaming with a carefree abandon......on second thoughts i think its just the halucigenic effects of the dodgy cucumber.

      More like the acid tab your coworker dropped into your coffee, good luck with the trip.

              It might have come from Spain...

              No, it definitely came from Aldi's :) Just to contextualise, there is a hierarchy of grocers in the UK and they are as follows... Marks and Spencers, Waitrose and Specialist bespoke markets - These are the creme de la creme, for those with a passion for quality. Sainsburys - Aspirational, not quite in the upper echelon, but not bad at all. Tesco - Standard fare at a reasonable price, ideal for families on average/good wages. Morrisons - A bit like Tesco, but catering for those in the north, so things like chutney will be there, but Pâte d'amande recette will not! Asda - Definitely sub-prime, makes a good thing about its cheapness, for people on low wages. Lidl - Very cheap, pile 'em high sell 'em low business model, for those on benefits who don't mind what actually goes into the food. Netto - A place where insects live and where people steal the food because they are so poor and desperate. Aldi - A skip, sometimes has rotten food in it, but you have to move a dead cat out of the way first.

                  Did not know that... I'll keep it in mind in case I'll travel to Germany... Offtopic: Have you noticed the two arrows at the right of your signature? It's been a disappointment to see they were not useful to scroll your sig... I expected some fireworks or so... Please, now don't tell me that you'd placed that there to fool some CPians... :rolleyes:

                    This story[^] mentions 7 people in the UK with E.coli, altho 4 of them are German nationals. What I find interesting is the quote from a WHO spokesman: "This strain has never been seen in an outbreak situation before" So it may have been seen other situations then, like maybe in a Lab situation? How did it get out of the lab?

                        It may just depend on the area. I doubt if it's corporate policy to sell spoiled goods. :)

                            I think it's just a case of your reporting. I'm seeing statements from them that it's never been seen anywhere before[^].

                              Eh, What I read in that is that "it's never been isolated in patients before", just because "they" hadn't infected anyone with it before doesn't mean it didn't exist :-D

                                  Grumble. The article appears to've been updated sometime between when I read it and you did. The quote you're showing is new, as is most of the detail in the first 2 paragraphs.

                                    I think it fell a bit flat because no-one seems to know that Aldi is German. Shame.
