I now have a lounge carpet covered in white rice....
Son is staying with friends down in Worcester while he's inbetween changing houses, so I drove back yesterday with a car loaded with his stuff. Just opened the big heavy suitcase full of saucepans and crockery etc ( and luckily was going to wash it all again for him anyway, so that it starts off spotless in his new house).
He'd only gone and put a big tub of rice in there as well , which had burst open . The lid pockets catapulted the stuff everywhere when I flung it open
