    Quality local paper journalism

    I don't usually bother to read the local freesheet, but my wife bunged it in the conservatory to use for cat litter tray lining, and I couldn't help but notice the front page story. Here it is:

    "had drank some of the milk". LOL- I'd be asking for a refund on your journalism degree there TBH.

    Anyway: this is how modern milk production works. The cow's udders are cleaned quite carefully, then the automatic milking machine is attached. Worms, in my experience, tend not to climb up cows and attach themselves to the udder. After the milk has been extracted from the cow, it's taken in large tanks to a processing facility where it's carefully filtered, before being pasteurised, which involves heating it briefly to over 70C, in small tubes which are necessary for precise heat control. Then it's bottled in an automatic process.

    “I saw some black particles floating in it
    Hmm. Could possibly be mud?

    The couple, who also have a two-year-old daughter
    Oh. Oh right. There's absolutely no question that the worm was put there by the Co-Op then.

    The 45-year-old, who is currently out of work
    ....and out of brains.

    I get to bust these out so rarely:

    Obviously not interested in any compo.
    Yep, "currently out of work" is the giveaway, quite obviously a liar and a crook.

    I know somebody who's out of work, and let me tell you he's a shady character and no mistake. When will the government crack down on these people?

    I know a few, they've just been rounded up and shot. So I'm guessing that'll be this morning then.

    She added: “It disgusted me the shop said we could return it and get another one.”

    For some reason I found that funny, the language suggesting their suggestion was on par with the holocaust or something.

    Edited for you....
    "I've heard there is a common problem with this item from forums" - If you read some forums they believe Elvis was abducted by aliens, doesn't mean it's true.
