What have we got in store next year

We might all be skint, but as a nation a lot are still fat so I'd say ditch the filling in the toast sandwich and burn a few of the calories locked up in the superfluous flesh! Could be knock-on savings for the country through less obesity-related health expenditure:D

And the salt and pepper is 'free' in McDonalds!

Where do they get their pricing from anyway? At 2.5p a slice their loaf would only cost 50p (assuming about 20 slices per loaf). Most people can't access bread at that price unless a whoopsie and certainly it is unlikely to be good quality, nutritious bread at that price.

3 slices from an average loaf at £1.20 is 18 pence. And for that price it is much easier to produce something balanced and a heck of a lot more appealing than a toast sandwich!

What you need for your McD's meal IS free, no more, so if you take more than you need at the time it is theft, specially if you do it often!

When I was a kid, my mum used to make me banana sandwiches and she used to sprinkle sugar on the banana! :eek: No wonder I've got so many fillings!

Don't think I would fancy a toast sandwich. Apparently, it was Mrs Beeton who came up with the idea originally. There's an article about it on the Guardian website. The Toast Sandwich: Can You Jazz It Up.

When I was little a treat was Sugar Butties. Buttered bread with sugar sprinkled on. If I made the myself it was shovelled on!

hole with crisps!
