Safeway Savers Bread

You know what they are...

Every morning, the shelves are stacked full of them. Everyday, the old loaves are replaced by new loaves and the cycle goes on and on. They are very much dispensable and replaceable. Nobody bothers about those left on the shelves at the end of the day. They will be disposed of, no big deal. They are so common anyway.

They are also cheap too. For just 25p, you can get one loaf. Disgustingly cheap. So easily affordable, even the tramps on the streets outside Russell Square tube can afford an entire loaf if they sit for 15 minutes. No need to spend any effort at all to buy them.

However, their quality is very poor too. A slice crumbles easily. Bread crumbs get all over the table when you try to spread them. Crumbs drop out of your grasp and mouth when you start eating them. The bread sticks to your teeth as you try to chew and digest it. Too much effort needed to eat it and it's not nice. I repeat: NOT NICE.

So nobody likes Safeway Savers Bread. You only buy it if you are damn poor. As soon as you can afford it, you go for something better. Why stick with Safeway Savers Bread when you can go for Hovis or Kings Mill? After all Savers Bread is always there, they are plentiful, and they are cheap. No need to spend any effort at all. If you become poor again, can always go back to Savers Bread, it will not run away. But for now, better aim for and grab as much Hovis as you can before it runs out!

When you are rich already and are enjoying that slice of Hovis, do you think of Savers Bread? Do you care to even remember, let alone appreciate the feeling of full-ness that it once gave you? Do you remember that last time, that 25p loaf of Savers Bread at least prevented you from going hungry?

Thought not.

Nobody likes Safeway Savers Bread.

The laptop was delivered to Stratford yesterday. With the help of streetmap.co.uk and a map. Fucking DHL even ran out of proper receipts when I delivered it there. I only had a handwritten acknowledgment slip.

I can only pray that my laptop does not get lost. But I should prepare myself for the worst.

I WANT MY IBM T23 BACK!!!!!!
