    I think only food products carry a best before date, so therefore a calender doesn't.

    You cant be serious asking that question.

    But you can reuse a calender. Maybe in 4 years or something when the days match up with the dates again if you ignore the years written on them :)

    Wouldn't it be 7 years?

    And no, my Dilbert novelty wall calendar does not have a use by date. :)

    Technically... it isn't the nature of food that warrents a best before... it's the perishable nature of the product....

    Like batteries... and yes.. food products.

    this really cant be serious, why did you need to know?

    edit:

    i was thinking that.. is it cause you need the first common factor of 4 and 7 ?

    :)

    (calenders are "best" before end of the year it was intended btw :p after that there worse)

    A calendar is a little like segmented packets of cold meat, but each segment stays fresh for one more day than the last. And there are 365 segments. Except for leap years. When there are 366. Except every 5 leap years. When there are 365. And the first segment is labelled 01jan05 and goes off on the 1st of jan 2005. And the second segment is labelled 02jan05 and goes off on the 2nd of jan 2005. And the third seg...




    you know, i think the muppets staffing the 24hour sainsburys just infected me :worried:

    It was a joke. Who on earth would take this question seriously?

    I'm liking the joke replies so far though.
