Things you've discovered since moving in with your other half? 14:34 - May 1 with 5394 viewsBrixtonBlue

- Sriracha hot chilli sauce.
- Spring onions - never really thought about them before but they're a revelation in sandwiches.
- Loo rolls don't stay in the packet, they have a small wicker basket that they live in.
- Neither bread nor ketchup should go in the fridge, ever.
- You can never have too many scatter cushions.

EDIT: Forgot fabric softener. Dunno about the softness but my clothes have never smelled so good!

As you say, all sandwiches in shops are chilled. In Britain, the sandwich industry is worth £5.6bn a year, according to Kantar Worldpanel data So your assertion that, "No one wants to eat cold sandwiches" is wrong.

Sensible, stylish, sexy. Nothing gets 'em going like a pair of argyle socks and the rip of Velcro.


I’m certainly in the camp of banning bread in the fridge, margarine and factory slice loaves. Getting the baker to slice a proper fresh loaf (medium cut - thick cut is a crime and it won’t fit in the toaster). Those little seeds on the top are nonsense too. They just get everywhere and stick in the teeth. Banned.

Velcro shoes? I’d have people wearing those arrested. Fair policies for a better Britain, as far as I’m concerned 👍🏻

You said "Bread goes stale quicker in the fridge, it’s a scientific fact." I've just proved it isn't with a 1,600 experiment study.


No your link just proved my point. Jeez.

Your link misdefines staleness and then asserts that fridges actually just exacerbate the crystallisation of starch molecules. Which my scientific link (yours isn’t scientific btw, it’s a 100 word article quoting a bread magazine) then declares as the definition of staleness.

At this point you’re arguing against your own argument.

Yours came from science magazine and was a one-person article with no links to any studies. Mine cited 1,600 experiments in a 2,500 page document.

N2 has given up having been unable to provide any scientific evidence when challenged.

It doesn't seem to have occurred that sandwiches might be chilled to protect the fillings.

A quick search will throw up a thousand results explaining why bread dried in the fridge.

Yum, lovely warm stinking egg and cress.

Edit: No bakers, or indeed any store selling bread, keeps them in a refrigerated environment of course. All room temp; bakers, supermarkets...

I haven't given up but as a reader of this forum for 10+ years I know you are impossible to have reasoned debate with and are generally quite rude when someone has the temerity to have an opinion different to yours.

This is simply not true. I am completely open to evidence. I have provided studies to back up my position, you have provided nothing but deflection.

Why not just hold your hands up and admit you don't have any scientific evidence?

I know it's hard when you've been doing something one way for such a long time to admit you've had it wrong.

Also, if we're talking about rudeness and not wanting reasoned debate, why did you enter this thread to have a pop at me? One of your first posts sarcastically, and some might say rudely, said, "why don’t you write a paper on it or become a food technologist?" Your next post: "it’s no good telling Dolly! His personal experience trumps proven scientific fact apparently." Your next: "But apparently you know better than science."

So who's the rude one?!

Too late we took the plunge...last bike in town her size came with the disc brakes which I read on here can be a mare! He convinced me that the pneumatic rather than cable ones are fine....we will see! Luckily some premium bonds came in for us!

Man, you are so easily riled! Go out and sit in the garden, relax and enjoy some nature, or if you don’t have a garden, have a glass of vino and read a good book.

Nice one - hope she enjoys it. Never going to be a better time for building up her strength on the lanes/roads which are as empty as I have ever known.

I drove up the A12 earlier - and you know how you can drive the shortest line through the bends - I literally haven't done that in the daytime for 20 years I reckon :-)

Dollers you are getting a rough deal here.

I went to Aldi this morning and they had run out of bread. I spoke to the nice man and he went into the fridge section and took me out 12 lovely fresh crumpets from a top-of-the-range Zanussi fridge-freezer.

I used to like Aldi, but now you've said they don't know what they're doing...

Tbf though fungers, you didn't go home and make a sandwich with those did you?

You toasted them. Come on, be honest.
