What's so good about sliced bread?

Personally, I'd find this more useful, Vern

And what goes in one end, has to come out the other:

The iPhone. That's better than everything. And always will be.

The only thing that's better will be the new iPhone. That's gonna be double awesome. I almost hate my iPhone 6 because I know how much better the iPhone 7 will be. But how can I hate it? It's an iPhone. So it's the best thing ever. And that is a fact.

Agree! I am currently waiting for delivery of my iPhone6s plus.

Hoodies are also a great invention

My 'Fat Lad at the Back' winter jacket can hold six cans and six pies in the back pockets. It saved a fair bit of walking for supplies while I was at the Straw Bear Festival in the fens in early January.

It's toasty warm too as a secondary selling point.

George Monbiot is a bit despairing of the progress since Sliced Bread it seems..

"An egg tray for your fridge that syncs with your phone to let you know how many eggs are left. A gadget for scrambling them – inside the shell. Wigs for babies, to allow “baby girls with little or no hair at all the opportunity to have a beautifully realistic hair style”.The iPotty, which permits toddlers to keep playing on their iPads while toilet training. A £2,000 spider-proof shed. A snow sauna, on sale in the United Arab Emirates, in which you can create a winter wonderland with the flick of a switch. A refrigerated watermelon case on wheels: indispensable for picnics – or perhaps not, as it weighs more than the melon. Anal bleaching cream, for… to be honest, I don’t want to know. An “automatic watch rotator” that saves you the bother of winding your luxury wrist-candy. A smartphone for dogs, with which they can take pictures of themselves. Pre-peeled bananas, in polystyrene trays covered in clingfilm; Just peel back the packaging."

Personally, I much prefer a baguette instead of slice bread.

1961 and the Chorleywood Baking Process. Quick sliced bread from the factory, using all the wheat products, whatever the quality. A major step forward in world bread baking. I used to cycle past the Flour Research Council (something like that) in Chorleywood. I was nimble then.

Not really...richmond today, Amsterdam tomorrow, Iceland Thursday and Friday and then Twickenham on Saturday...all for work and all great fun so I shan't complain

Twickenham on Saturday ? Fancy getting shitfaced in the Barmy arms ?

To be honest, I used it for a while, but the battery ran out and I didn't replace it.
Pain in the 'arris as I have to reset the watch whenever I want to wear it.

I suppose sliced bread has been out a good while now, so " best thing since" would still be a bold claim even if sliced bread itself is a contemptable, albeit slightly innovative product.

Just spent a day on an IT course debating precise meanings of terms. And precision is the most imprtant whotsit

Try telling that to anyone on an Internet forum, or a modern degree course for that matter.

If anybody comes up with an answer to the sliced bread poser, can they possibly tell me what's so great about the dog's b#llocks or the kipper's knickers?

Thank you.

Made me think when was the last time I bought sliced bread, and I can't remember.....either home baked or bought unsliced!

Tempting...but I am with clients, in the hospitality bit...probably not good form to bugger off and leave them.

Tell me about it, I have to wait until November for my Ipad pro and ipencil. What am I supposed to do in the mean time, my crappy ipad air is just an embarrassment now...i shall have to stay indoors untill it arrives

Ah an intelligent stylus. If only Samsung hadn't been installing them on the Note series for years.

I do respect the iphone and ipad. It's the true advertising dream of form winning over function at a high price and yet.....people continue to buy them in their millions. If only we had more bridges to sell we'd be millionaires Rodney.
