to be cross with dw for not taking my advice on buying a new toaster

[Jasonthunderpants]

Dw purchased a new toaster on sunday.
This morning I tried it out and to my dismay I noticed 1" of bread sticking out the top.
Before she left I told her to take a slice of bread to fit into the toasters on display in the shop to see if it was the right size, but she refused.
Now I am going to look a bit of a nob in the returns queue with a toaster in one hand and a slice of bread in the other waiting to explain to the assistant that I want a bigger toaster that fits this slice

It is little things like this that get my goat
Why do some people never listen to good advice?

All she had to do was try the bread in the toasters to see if it was a good fit.Afterall she spends bloody hours trying shoes on
grump

I have Warburtons too, it is really annoying that the top bit doesn't get toasted.
In your wifes defence though, I don't think you can get ones that fit around here, all the ones I've looked at are the same size.

The German toasters sound good, or petition Warburtons to make a standard size loaf

To avoid any suggestion that you might be a knob by carrying slices of bread around appliance outlets I suggest you craft an exact bread sized replica from suitable material (polystyrene or foam maybe) and take that with you.
I'm sure you would find it more durable and would mean that you wouldn't find crumbs in your under or other garments once your quest was over.

I saw the thread title and I just knew you were going to be you bumping your gums about something.

The toaster thing really annoys my dp to so I deliberately buy larger bread .

put the toaster in the bin and grill your toast instead..........? If you like you can be really anal and rotate it through 90 degrees every 30 secs or so to get completely even toasting.....contact my PIL for details

Just discard the untoasred bit. Will do wonders for your waist line

Couldn't you take a piece of paper to the shop cut to the same size as the slice of bread?

Just go and buy the biggest toaster available - suitable for all your baked goods needs.

I just love the posters who take JT so seriously .

JT as you have been advised previously - there's only one way to get things done properly and that's to do them yourself

Chippingin

I wasn't taking him seriously I shall equip him with a toasting fork and his problem is solved

oh yes, he can stick the toasting fork in his buns and then it won't matter how big they are...

Jason, What you need is a fabbo Dualit toaster! BUT you will have to part wit hthe best part of £150 for it!

I have a Dualit toaster but a toasting fork is cheaper and he can get a nice brass one with a finial of a giant cockeral and polish it everyday.

DP - is that you?

If so get off Mumsnet and go and fix the washing line like you promised.

JP, what you need is a coal fire and a toasting fork.

You can buy special toaster bread!

My dh did exactly the same thing - I feel your pain. I turn the bread around half way through.

Buy square bread?

Use a sharp samurai sword to swipe the excess bread from atop the toaster.

OH MY GOD!!!!! i can't believe yet another 'show-off' thread. some mumsnetters are bloody unbelievable.

This is clearly a ruse to show off that you have a toaster.

if your new fangled gadget is so bloody awful, what do you want those of us who can't afford £10 for a toaster to do eh? cry for you ...boo fucking hoo????????

whilst the rest of us (becuase of this tory government) have to do it the traditional way. Put the bread on a knife and toast it on the gas fire.

i hate threads like this, blatent showing off for the sake of it

its not just toasters that dont fit the bread, i cant find a bread maker that makes nice long loaves, or a wooden extending clothes prop, or an odds and sods drawer in the kitchen that actually doesnt jam when opened...the list is endless.

Jason, you're my favourite poster, by far

There are phallic undertones to this.

All will out in due course.

Barkiswilling

Phallic? Really? I mentioned a cockeral finial on a brass toasting fork.

What can you construe from that?

The game's afoot, lamplighter!

Hmmm. Toast. Toasting fork. Cockerel finial, butter sliding down the shaft of the toasting fork......

Nope Barkiswilling I think you have lost me there.

I think of cosy nurseries with Nanny and hot coal fires and warm milk, wearing my clean jim jams before going up the wooden hill and down sheet lane.....

The OP just needs/wants/wishes for a much larger toaster that is all
