8-J

[porphyry]

Mme. Malkhos has a way of hoarding food that is sometimes disturbing.

Today she found a tin of Christmas Pudding in the closet that was bought in November of 2007. It is a British Product.

She notices the expiration date says 8J. She wonders if any British reader would know what this means; for example does it mean January 2008? Do you consider it safe?

I don't think I'm British--is hoarding a national personality trait there, I wonder?

I was absolutely certain hoarding old fruit cake must be a matter of nationality? Probably genetic; due to Montesquieuian isolated island climates! Now you have tipped my Queen Theory over and on the shoulder and it is not amused, at all...poor thing.
