Did navy blue knickers feature anywhere?

I suspect not, in those days of youthful abandon.

I like to put sausages and brown sauce in it. Or chips. Or eggs and bacon.

According to Wiki, that's banned.

Potassium bromate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still in use in the US and Japan though.

I don't want to get you too hot under the collar here, but I also wore flesh coloured tights, flat shoes, and a blue gingham dress. Heavy on the polyester.

Eeep!

Back in 5!

Phooooar!

I had a job at Morrisons when I was younger, which my Mum made me take. I hated it. I was a checkout girl - they made me wear a TABBARD for gods sake.

Phooooar!

Some of the stuff thats put in commercially produced bread. Bear in mind bread is essentially Flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar.

Calcium propionate
Mono-and diglycerides
Potassium bromate
Partially hydrogenated oils
Sodium stearoyl lactate
Sorbic acid
Ascorbic acid
Acetic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides

You can never have too many glycerides!

Sounds thrilling!

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

Where I lived in Germany there was a "Bread Museum", I never visited.

My Dad is german, and hates our 'real' bread, he prefers the rank German equivalent.

If I opened it, I would have to buy it.

They have some bread here in Germany that is perfectly cuboid and lasts about 2 weeks. Scary stuff, but it fits perfectly in the toaster.

Bread is softer when it's fresher. I'm not quite that bad, but I do still instinctively give the loaf a bit of a sneaky squeeze while I'm putting it in the basket just to make sure it's not completely rock hard (it never is).

I had a job at Morrisons when I was younger, which my Mum made me take. I hated it. I was a checkout girl - they made me wear a TABBARD for gods sake.

I am ashamed to admit that to liven up my day I used to go to great lengths to annoy the revolting Morrisons customers.

I would ensure loaves of bread went through first, followed by an aggressive volley of tins - regardless of the order it was packed onto the belt.

I once charged a woman £1 for an unlabelled large orange as I couldn't be arsed working out how much it should be.

I was put on the "cash only" till for what would ultimately turn out to be my last shift. Two young blokes came through with loads of lager, then tried to pay by card. I refused to accept the card, and made one of them run out to the cashpoint before I'd serve him, holding the queue up by about 10 mins.

I was reprimanded for not using the card machine I did actually have access to, then sacked for my 'attitude', as when asked - 'do you WANt this job?'by the manager, my response was a snort.

Take a sniff of a loaf of the extended life stuff some of them sell when you open it. Smells more like chemicals than bread.
