Subject: RE: BS: Life's Little Irritations
This is not a minor irritation. This is a life-shattering step in totally the wrong direction. You will know by now, of course, that I'm referring to those "zip-lok" bags that BirdsEye have decided to put their frozen peas in. I calculate that 68% of all freezers in this country now have at least half a pound of loose frozen peas at the bottom of at least two of the drawers. The. Bags. Do. NOT. Lock. There are two ways of opening the bag, a waste of time as the bag is already open, and no way of closing it. Not only that, but the bag is made of such thick plastic that resort to a bag-tie is useless. Nothing except one of those expensive heavy-duty plastic snap-shut clips from Lakeland will do the trick. To quote Basil Fawlty, this is exactly how Nazi Germany started...
