Ed's Christmas news

Merry Christmas?
I had some disturbing news from my best blog hosts at A Small Orange.
Read all about why I am so happy!!!
Sorry, kids, but there will be no Christmas next year!
With so many people forecast to lose their jobs in 2009, the contract to take out the bearded present bearer was over-subscribed. (If it's any consolation, no reindeer were unnecessarily hurt in the taking of this picture. They are sleeping, children!)
Talking of disturbing news, I couldn't get a decent slice of toast for my English Christmas breakfast! Booooooo.
After road-testing toasted Hovis on Christmas Day, I am afraid to say that the quality of Britain's favorite traditional "proper" bread has gone right down the toilet. (And the toilet is now the best place for Hovis bread, if you ask me.)
It doesn't even look the same as I remember, and when you get it out the pack, it feels all squishy. And when you cut the head off you see that it is no more than glorified brown wonder bread. And when you start digging, all you see is dough peppered with unidentifiable hard bits - marketing spiel for healthy additives.
I suspect that the Hovis people have sold out to the demands of the supermarket chains, I mean, they have changed their recipes for the good of the consumers' health?
Well, your ploy didn't work, Hovis marketeers. I am never buying a loaf of your shite again - or at least not until you improve the mix. Come on, I need to spread real butter (not genetically modified margarine) on my toast without it disintegrating. And what's with the cat head?
If Google are as good as they say they are, this video should be relevant. Here's hoping!
Now that the important Christmas news is off my chest, it's lunch time - time to bake my own bread for a Xmas left-overs sandwich. Looks like it is going to be a late lunch.

This video should be about Christmas
