The Daily Bread
Sir,—Your leaderette appearing in The Chronicle of 16th instant was most timely and touched on a matter that is causing much comment among those who collect the daily loaf. Having in mind the fact that we get no service from most of the bakers in the way of delivery, it is rubbing it in to be asked to pay an extra id for simply parting a loaf that we go to the shop to get. Nor is the feeling of resentment, lessened, by the knowledge that unparted the loaf contains 11 to 12 ozs. only for which we pay Bd, an expensiev enough article of food, without having an extra id tacked on for simply breaking it into two. What we still are looking for is more bread for our Bd, not a demand for more money for the same weight, halved by a twist of the wrist. —I am, etc., FAMILY MAN. (The parting or breaking of a loaf adds not id but Id, to the cost of the loaf to the public—Editor)
