That reminds me of when I asked my granny for some biscuits when I was 8. She told me to help myself, so I got the tin out of the cupboard...........and found that it was crawling with ants!! Cheeky kid that I was, I offered the tin to my 12-year-old brother, and when we'd stopped making a fuss of the ants, he bravely picked the packet out and discovered that the sell-by-date was April 1984! That was 3 months before he was born, and our granny had moved house since then! We never asked her for any biscuits again. Nor did we let her forget our gruesome discovery!
