threemonkeysIt is St Paddy's day today. Probably a good day to have on a sunday as it cuts down on the green themed idiocy. However I was a little surprised to go into a Countdown supermarket this morning to ss that all the staff were wearing orange t-shirts. It is some sort of product promotion, but the timing is interesting to say the least. I chatted to a couple of the staff at checkout about it. One didn't get the significance, but the other was quite miffed. I think more than any other reason because she didn't get the opportunity to dress up in green.
I was reminded of university days. The dining room for halls of residence had big milk dispensers for breakfast time. It was always a race between certain factions to see who could get the food colouring into them first. At the time orange coloured milk seemed a lot more palatable than green milk. Interesting then that the makers of flavoured milk here offer green lime flavoured milk (as well as the usual chocolate, banana etc) but don't offer orange.
