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?

As proven by empirical method by members of theboringclub http://community.livejournal.com/theboringclub/9710.html it is dead sure to be absolutely safe.
Just eat it!
Renowned british readers apparently keep theirs hid in cupboards for years and live and prosper nevertheless.
You could, of course, save it up for the year after next year´s christmas to test these testimonials of our hon. members. That would be definite proof, whatever the result.
Are you absolutely sure, Mme Malkhos isn´t...british?

October 2008 (number is the year, letter the month)

If it neither explodes nor stinks nor runs away, eat it.
