The Big Bread con

Got to bed about 10.30 last night. Woke twice during the night once because something disturbed Dainty and she came and hassled me til I woke up and fussed her. Got up at 7.15 and took dogs out for a wee. Made a coffee and watched news til 8.15 then fed dogs and took them out for a poo. Ang got up at 8.30 and had a coffee. Afterwards she had a tea and was quite shaky. Talked for a while and she agreed not to drink til after 12 and managed to eat ¾ of a banana and drink some milk. We all went for a walk to the backwaters and managed to get Buster off the lead for a while. Managed to get back before the rain set in. Had some toast and marmalade to eat but was really angry. I’ll explain. About a week ago I ordered some medium sliced bread from the local shop and they sent thick sliced which really annoyed me as I hate thick sliced. Yesterday I went and got some myself and realized when I got home I’d picked up thick sliced. I went mad when I realized and ranted about it for 5 minutes. I was raised on thin sliced and when I moved down south discovered you could only get thick and medium in all the shops. It took me ages to get used to medium sliced. You have to use more butter and more whatever you are putting in your sandwiches. Don’t get me on about toast. Thin sliced toast is really crispy and scrummy, unlike medium. Thick sliced is a disaster. It’s all fluffy inside. Yuck. Anyway, what should I see on the news today but an item about bread and the thickness of it. When I got chance today in the early afternoon I went searching on all the grocery store websites using a search for “thin sliced bread”. Out of ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose I could not find any white thin sliced bread. The only one I could find 1 type of thin sliced loaf was a brown loaf in Waitrose. I can’t believe people no longer want it and it’s more likely to do with the fact that the thicker the slices the quicker the loaf is used, thus increasing consumption and profits for the bakeries. Very annoying. Maybe it should be raised in the house of Lords! Had some potato fritters, green beans and fried chicken to eat. Only managed to get the dogs out on the green for the rest of the afternoon but took Dainty to Wareham about 4.30 to see my friend. Got back and decided to do this post and have a coffee.
