would be flown into one's young gob as an aeroplane

As a kid, I'd make an entire aeroplane of a single stotty; actually two entire aeroplanes, Spitfires, one out of each half, sliced down the middle, and fried before adding the bacon & ketchup. Don't eat red meat at home these days, but this stirs in me a memory that might have to be revisited. Time I thawed out another stotty...

Warburton's sliced white is good with fish and chips (Pisces in Fleetwood; Christian's in North Shields; Seashells in Monkseaton...) but my favourite sliced loaf is Morrison's Sunflower & Pumpkin Seed.
