Butter should be applied when the toast is cold, butter-soggy toast is the sign of a decadent household.

That's not unpopular, it's just common sense

Who's eating cold toast ???

Not cold, but certainly cooled sufficiently that the butter doesn't just melt into it and leave a limp, soggy mess.

Toast racks are great. Rather than butter the toast straight away you leave it until you want to eat it and then butter -> toast -> eat.

Easy.

Is the room temperature at the hotel you're staying in at the correct temperature for the butter to melt properly enough to be spreadable?

Cold toast is for people on religious retreats, black tea optional, butter not available.

Try not to be like that, it lowers the tone of the whole discussion.

Be like what?

[Bill]

Not unpopular, just weird. You'll be saying you like cold crumpets next!

[Niponeoff]

I always eat the kids toast, which is normally cold. Little wasters, I could live off the food they leave.

I dread to think what the man from the telly's views are on "spreadable".

Top tip, if you've a library card and use the Libby App on your iPad or whatever other device Viz is one of the magazines available.

Thank you for that. I use Libby and didn't know Viz was available.

This isn't an unpopular opinion, it's practical science!

The toast will not go totally cold (especially at the speed I scoff it..)
You will have already positioned the butter next to the tea pot to soften prior to the arrival of the toast rack.
As above, butter and enjoy the toast as required, with your full British Isles breakfast.

Soggy buttered toast is better than no toast but buttered toast with a bit of a crunch is nicer especially with a certain amount of unmelted yellow gold on top.

So hungry, so very hungry now......

One of my hobbies is to not watch certain TV programmes. I specialise in not watching EastEnders and Coronation Street, and I particularly enjoy not watching Strictly Come Dancing or any football match.

I used i watch football and enjoyed it, until they all started getting down on one knee. Now I can't stomach it.

I stopped watching football when they all turned into a bunch of overpaid cheating jessies with all their fake dives and injuries. If you translate that into a work scenario that is nothing short of fraud and they should have all dives/injuries reviewed/replayed in front of a panel and fines and points deducted. Fines should be commensurate with their wages - 6 months pay will be a few million for some.

The only thing that will make me watch football again are random concealed landmines - that will make them worth their pay.

Would you be happy with a wage deduction if you made a wrong decision at work?

Not talking about mistakes - talking about cheating/fraud which does get you fined

[Mr Penguin]

A straight red card for diving would soon stop it.

The very fact that you call it a "decision" shows that the action was intentional. An intentional fall is diving and that's cheating.

I dont get why they don’t just have sighting like rugby.
just go through the game footage start handing out bans.

Neymar might end up missing a season after just the one game but I bet he would learn fast I’m sure.

[Stick Legs]

House prices aren’t going to fall, and once the sun comes out, people turn their central heating off & we all get a below-inflation-but-feels-good pay rise of 6 or so percent the housing market’s will go nuts over the summer.

[ntiz]

A lot of blokes who get divorced where rubbish husbands who probably deserved to get left.

I’m not saying the financial kicking they get is deserved but being left in the first place.

I'm not a rugger bugger but I do like the way the ref's word is final. It's sometimes funny watching 18 stone of aggression knowing he has to be polite to the wee man and is not allowed to talk to him because that's the captain's job.

I'll never understand rugby. Too many rules. But obviously I'm for Ireland rather than France today.

Diving annoys me in football, Grealish wouldn't make the first eleven if they clamped down on it, but at the same time I understand that if you allow it players will quite rightly milk it because the other team will do it too.
