h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Is the saying 'The best thing since sliced bread' meant to be some kind of curse or something? You might as well say 'The best thing since mouldy cabbage'.

Sliced bread is quite vile, and it's not just the fact that it's sliced into thin and uninteresting squares that I'm complaining about here, but that it's made from some sort of sludgy, tasteless dough and HAS NO CRUSTS! What kind of bloody bread is that then?

I move that the aforementioned saying be henceforth amended by all in decent society to: 'The best thing since proper crusty bread from a decent local bakery'. All those in favour say 'Mother's Pride'.

Don't know where you're buying yours from mate. My sliced bread always has crists. But, as you say, it is a darn sight less appestising then unsliced bread.
Actually, you can get some pretty nice sliced bread. Look around the Bakery of a supermarket. Can't remember where mother gets ours *^_^*

Anyway, don't you think "best thing since sliced bread" is a litt;e bit easier to say? I'm just thankful nobody seems to be using it any more...
