This is a question Rogues, Villains and Eccentrics

My current toilet book is Brewer's classic encyclopedia of the same name, listing some of the great British nutters down the ages. Let's create a B3TA version based on the dodgy people you've met

A friend of mine is a bit of an eccentric
He takes his Geiger counter to his local Tesco once in a while just to check all is in order, and the food he's buying isn't highly radioactive. A friend of his is even more of an eccentric and owns a tank, and once drove them both to a supermarket where apparently he complained about the width of the parking spaces.

And they complained about him destroying the tarmac surface, flattening the speed bumps and crushing a car or two.

Those would have been perfectly reasonable replies I guess
I'm not entirely sure why you need to drive a tank in rural Hertfordshire, the roads sort of work for normal tires

So...
Was any of the food radioactive?

Now that may sound daft, but the radiation emitted by radioactive materials like cobalt-60 is often used to sterilise food before it goes on sale.
That said, the food is kept in a crate while it's being sterilised, so it wouldn't become radioactive itself unless the crate broke and its contents came into contact with the radiation source.

That sounds like to much factual logic to cross his mind
he really is extremely eccentric
