So, I get up after night shift. Stand in the kitchen and wonder what to have for breakfast, although most would call it lunch time. A bowl of my wife's home made muesli with fruit is the order of the day. So off to the fridge and grab a pear ( I like cold crunchy fruit). Chop it all up, add a banana and then pour the muesli on top. A pot of home made yoghurt add to the pile before me and then settle down in front of the computer to read the news. It was then that I look down and see a bit of yellow-green something on the skin of a piece of pear. BOLLOX, that will be the label on the pear that I did not notice and have cut up into a dozen small bits and scattered throughout my breakfast >:(

Why, why, why do "they" have to put individual sticky labels on individual pieces of fruit. What is the point. I am likely to forget what it is I bought or, what is that green pear shaped thing in my crisper?, oh thank God for the sticker, its a pear.................

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
