What have you found lurking in the shelves? And is the "bacon as a bookmark" story apocryphal?
Ok, it’s time to ‘fess up. Who ate a Fry’s Crunchie bar in the UL and hid the wrapper behind some books?
Mark in our facilities team got a surprise when he unearthed this chocolate relic recently. Who can help us date it?
