A half a loaf is better than......

.........a full sliced pan. My wife shops in our local Superquinn and has noticed of late that Old Mr. B's full sliced pans were a day older that than his half-pans. Today she saw the delivery man stacking the shelves and queried him. He says that the policy is not to put out today's bread whilst yesterday's loaves remain on the shelf.

Now we all know Old Mr B's slogan - "Today's bread today". His wrappers also proclaim this. Boring old farts like myself will know that today's bread will show a Best Before Date of 4 days from today and we all know that mass produced sliced pans are only "fresh" for a couple of days at most.

It might be just an isolated incident but I've complained to Mr B's company and Superquinn because lot of people will just pick up a sliced pan assuming it is fresh.

And this is GAA related as it's Nickey Brennan's bread right?
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

I don't like that bread.

Do you like anything or anyone Pints?
Yeah I like loads of people. I like the posters on this thread (though I don't know much about boy wonder).  That could change at anytime though. I quite like SuperQuinns bread they make themselves though it's a bit on the dear side.  It's actually about the only bread I really like but I can't get it very often.
