    Ok now watched this week's. I hate the name "eggy bread". That doesn't sound nice. It sounds like a kitchen disaster, as in the popular phrase "oh no! I've got eggy bread!"
    or "we can't serve this to the guests.. the bread.. it's gone eggy"

    "eggy bread" my school friends used to call "french toast". In my family it'll always be "flip flop fries" though and we never put anything on it except maybe some ketchup on the side :D

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    I thought French toast was just normal bread, thinly-sliced and toasted twice? (hey that rhymes!)

    I can never get this to work properly. My mates at Uni used to eat it all the time

  • We call it French Toast if it's savoury, Gypsy Toast if it has sugar in it and Eggy Bread when it's a Scout camp :)

    The car tips guy irritated me from start to finish...How is it possibly cheaper to water down windscreen/glass cleaner, for cheaper screenwash?

    Can anyone explain this to me in a different way, or correct my (probably wrong) maths?

    As a jaded mum of teenagers, my first reaction was it's cheaper because his mum pays for it - saving him from having to go to Halfords! :rotfl:
