there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

Yes you're right.I remember my dad buying these penny loaves for me and my sister from a baker's in cross arcade in town- They might have been hovis if not turog.

there's a couple of painted identical ones on the back of the shops on brudnell road in hyde park near the house me and jf lived in for some years - one of the letting agents has been kind enough to put a small to let sign right in the middle of one - I'll try and remember to snap them on the way home tonight.
