penguin42hmm20:14
penguin42so, Sainsbury's carrots use a right single quotation mark., every other product uses an apostrophe20:14
daftykinsdid it break your price scraping, or?20:15
penguin42no, but when I print out the pdf I get a blob just on the carrots and wondered why; even on the webpage it uses the single quotation mark, I've not figured out what's happening in the PDF yet20:17
daftykinsooh20:17
daftykinsat least the blob isn't on real carrots... ;)20:17
penguin42perhaps I should peel my pdf?20:18
daftykinsdefinitely, or just chop down the middle - but call it a 'bisect' as you do it ;)20:20
penguin42podofium's text extract on the pdf shows     (0.000,0.000) ?      so it's not okular doing it20:22
penguin42where as the parsnip's have    (0.000,0.000) ' 20:23
daftykinsi don't think any really should have an apostrophe20:23
penguin42it's possessive to Sainsubry's isn't it?20:24
daftykinsbut of the veg20:25
penguin42oh, no, it's in their name20:25
penguin42https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainsbury%27s20:28
daftykinsnot of the veg names though, it'd be unneeded on a product page say20:30
penguin42but that is the name of their supermarket; so it makes as much sense as putting Asda or Tesco;  I'd rather they didn't - it makes finding stuff on the list harder20:31
daftykinsi really just mean when you wrote "parsnip's" :D20:32
daftykinsand well, the reference to them doing similar with the carrots20:33
penguin42oh, yes they don't do that - that was me20:33
penguin42I'm only talking about the ' between the y and s20:33
daftykinsooh we might have to give davef any jaffa cakes you have at home ;)20:33
penguin42fortunately that's easy20:34
penguin42I have no jaffa cakes20:34
daftykinsphew, neither of us will be raided20:36
penguin42I dont think I have any orange marmalade either, so I can't generate any20:36
daftykinsthat'd be like baiting him20:37
penguin42I mean I do have oranges, so...20:38
* daftykins looks at ripples starting in a cup of water20:40
penguin42good point, perhaps we can form it all out of the quantum vacuum energy20:44
penguin42where jaffacakes and oreos randomly spring into existence and then annihilate20:45
daftykinsi was just going a little Jurassic Park on you there20:45
penguin42oh, sorry, yes I hadn't noticed that20:46
daftykinsmaybe if you did make some homemade jaffa cakes, i could quote the Jeff Goldblum line about scentists not stopping to think if they should :D20:46
zxmpihow will we know they're not evil universe jaffa cakes?20:46
penguin42zxmpi: You eat a box full and see what happens20:46
* davef sniffs the air21:30
daftykinskeep perfectly still... his vision is based on cake movement...21:30
* zxmpi rolls cellophane wrapper of jaffa cakes into the waiting trap22:47
* penguin42 tosses a stale Eccles cake to distract him22:51
