I think Wonder loaf was the first sliced bread I remember. My friends family across the road had it and it seemed really posh, they were a little better off than us. A luxury at their house for me was chips form the fish and chip shop in Wonder loaf sliced bread. My friend loved ketchup sandwiches with that bread. Thanks for the memories Alf, that must have been around early 1950's I guess. Mo
And nowadays the super markets have all types of unsliced bread eg;Tin,Batch, Bloomers............Bloomers but we have in this modern world electric knives so you can cut to your own desire feel a a crust end coming on with lashings of butter,.........can you still get Adams best butter
First sliced bread in our house was called Lyons Superbread and came in a wax paper wrapper with blue and white squares on. The crust was always rubbery, we only had it cos we could get it in a local corner shop on a Sunday morning when all the other shops were closed, unlike today.
