    RJK: Good to see you emphasise your support for the Pound, RJK. Scotland's ancient Pound - and the Pound used elsewhere in the UK - must not be replaced by the euro.

    Still on the subject of your comment quoted above - do you buy products made/produced in England/Wales or Northern Ireland?

    RJK: Would you like to see the image of John Logie Baird - that Great Scotsman who invented television - appear on Scottish and/or English banknotes? His image would be very welcome on English banknotes. John Logie Baird lived for many years in England and, of course, the work he was most famous for was conducted in London.

    [QUOTE=Britannist;811253]Purchases of traditional British bread are down by 1.2% with sales of other types of bread up according to a report in the Daily Telegraph:
    I'm not sure how it would be classified, but we mostly use bread baked on the premises at our local convenience store. There is greater variety than I would have thought of as traditional British. But then I'm an old codger and traditional meant a simple sliced white loaf.

    I think beans on toast tastes better with white bread and I like to eat apricot jam sandwiches, has to be on white. Same with bacon sandwiches, has to be white bread.. question is, brown sauce or red?

    In an average week we will have brown wholemeal sliced, bagels and pitta breads, occasionally naan too (if we're having a curry) - we have a truly multicultural bread basket!

    But you don't have any white bread, are you prejudice?
