    Only buy or bake enough to last you until tomorrow at the latest so there's no need for the fridge. If you've got more than that, put the rest in the freezer.

    Of far more importance is this. Why is there a 'd' in fridge when it's an abbreviation of refrigerator in which the letter 'd' is somewhat conspicuous by its absence? Also how did Jack become the diminutive of John when it's not any shorter?

    Why do we say WWW instead of World Wide Web even though it takes longer to say...

    World Wide Web isn't part of a website address. So we talk about the World Wide Web but we say www... for an address.

    Bake enough for what I need, so rarely have any left over, although when I do, it goes in the fridge.

    Why is there a D in fridge, we it’s a simple boring answer because back in the fifties when home refrigeration was taking off the main manufacturer was a company call Fridgaire, which some claim to mean frigide air. However my favourite explanation is that it might also be that if you use the logical shortening to frig then this mean a sexual act.

    Bread should be kept in a bread bin in my opinion as putting it in the fridge drys it out.

    And in France Jack is used as the diminutive of James. Strange

    People that put their bread in the fridge also keep dead bodies under their floorboards.

    You can’t keep Dead Bodies under the floorboards for too long, the smell is horrendous after a couple of weeks - especially when we’ve had weather like we’ve been having. Best to add a few bricks, wrap in black bags, cover in chicken wire and throw in the Thames. Or, chop up boil and sell on to ASDA - this is what I have been doing of late..... Although I think @Arsenetatters may have cottoned on when she was in the halal isle in the Swanley branch.

    If anybody needs this service, PM me and we can discuss a price.

    * this is for disposal only. If you need assistance prior to death, the price is slightly higher.

    More importantly, what do you call the end of the loaf?

    To me it’s the heel.

    Actually never heard it called the heel. Just looked it up and heel is the most common answer (60% ish) lots of “end crust” too and “dog slice” apparently popular.

    Great question though. Never thought about it before that others don’t call it the same

    I always thought it was called the Nob and hence where the nickname Nobby comes from.

    Depends on the person.

    If you’re a wild life on the edge type, live for the moment type it’s in the cupboard cos it only lasts a few days.

    If you’re economic, safe, logical, a long term deep thinker, fridge it is, lasts up to 10 days.

    Fridge is just weird
  • Id have to ask the wife
  • Fridge for me, basically because

    a) it lasts longer
    b) i only have it as toast so couldn't care less if the bread is cold to start with

    Cupboard.

    The fridge is where chocolate lives.
