I always turn the toaster over and let the toast fall out.

My toast only jams when I'm using non-standard bread, such as buns sliced in half...

I always have to fish the bread out of the toaster with a knife

I'll sign up for that one ... also the standardisation of toaster widths and lengths, also that of bread!
*wonders how many times it has happened that bread which fits nicely into one toaster gets stuck in another?*

If you use enough force, any bit of bread will fit into ant toaster

but not come out again when the spring pops and then there's the burning and the embarresed explantions to the firecrews...

Thats why you use the knife to scrape the bread out, you see

No, that's why I use a toaster oven, instead of a regular toaster.

One of those appliances waiting for a Dyson-style re-design, if you ask me (which you didn't).

not to mention the lingering faint odour of burnt bread which nothing will get rid of for days and makes anyone who enters the building either (a) very hungry or (b) wonder where the fire is. Or possibly both.

Clive, keep your eyes open for extra-thin sliced bread, then... I've found that you can fit two slices in each side of a standard toaster, simultaneously producing four single-sided pieces of toast.

but I also like my one-sided toast thick..but thanks for the tip Peet!
