    Why do people squeeze bread in the supermarket? Not just one loaf either, every loaf on the shelf.

      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.

        ... and why do people try to see how many ringed doughnuts they can carry whilst naked without using their hands? Not just one doughnut either, ...

          I've no idea. Why do people kick the tyres of a car that's for sale?

          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.

            Never mind the cabbages, worry about what goes on in the dairy section...

              Hi Dave, where you been?

              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.

                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.

                    Hi Mary,

                    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
