I'm not a huge bread fan, but remember buying "Brötchen" as a child that were so good I used to eat them without bread/jam etc, straight from the bakery.

I find with a good bread, the crust is the best part. Whereas with most of the stuff you buy in Britain, the crust is so disgusting it has to excised.Comment

I've no idea. Why do people kick the tyres of a car that's for sale?Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostWhy do people squeeze bread in the supermarket? Not just one loaf either, every loaf on the shelf.
PS I recently saw someone odd looking picking up every single cabbage on display and looking at it from every angle, then not buying any. I wasn't going to buy any either after they'd all been handled by a weirdo.Last edited by Sysman; 3 August 2010, 09:40.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Hi Dave, where you been?Originally posted by DaveB View Post
I'm not looking at your linky, as I'm incredibly anal about milk and it will probably yack me out.
It's got to be from my local organic farm shop so I know it's not full of gross.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

You've all missed the point. The problem with commercial bread is the excess salt (which leads to hypertension).
A 10p loaf? You may as well sprinkle salt and flour treatment agent on cardboard and eat that for all the nutritional value it provides.Hard Brexit now!

Working unfortunately. Major ERP upgrade going on here and the management bulltulip and politics are unbelievable, so I've had to actually pay attention for a change to avoid my part of the project getting blamed for other peoples cockups.
And yes, the link probably would do that. It's an old Mary Whitehouse Experience sketch, Hugh Dennis doing Mr Strange
