    Day 29 - No twisty ties? C'mon!

    I don't want to be a complainer, but this is ridiculous. I've bought loaves of bread at several different grocery stores now, and at each place the bags come sealed with a little piece of tape. I don't understand. Has twisty tie technology not made it to the UK yet? I've been keeping the bags closed with paper clips because the tape doesn't work and doesn't last.

    Maybe that has something to do with why bread is so cheap here and why it only lasts like 3 days. On the bright side, some of the bread here is great!!! Today I got some "giant white baps". I don't know what that means, but they look very good for sandwiches.

    Can you use those Rubbermaid bread loaf keepers or has Rubbermaid not made it across the pond yet?
