Re: Just gotta know !

Rena - besides 'Murphys Law' The physics law is that the buttered side is slightly heavier - so likely to fall that side down.
As for Elvis - I thought so - till, I saw him working down the fish shop... Have to say - he's not very good with his batter

Carole - They are 'Native Americans' ... The reason I know re - SP is because I am extremely interested in their culture and history, I have watched docus on them and have books as well, I proudly have some photographs of my heroes.

Elvis is working as a trolley collector at the B&Q at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol;

Toast always falling butter side down is a misnomer .The common effect is caused by the height the toast falls from. Viz, toast from waist height only has enough time to rotate by half a turn. Drop it from one foot higher and itwill complete one rotation and fall butter side up
simples ennit. TRY IT.works every time.

Re: Just gotta know !

I'm gonna try that with my toast tomorrow morning Robert. I knew there would be a sensible answer and I am so glad Elvis is alive and kicking, even in reduced cirumstances - I knew Grouse must be mistaken. That's two sightings now - Long live the King

Re: Just gotta know !

I beg to differ Robert. Elvis, now 81, is a barman in Harry Maguire's bar and lounge/post office/greengrocers in Ballyache, County Kerry, as a matter of fact he served me and the wife while on holiday there only last year, honest to God you wouldn't know him, he's lost all that flab, not a pick on him, thin as a stick and a big red face on him, must be all that fresh air he's gettin' in Kerry, he was kind enough to give us a few bars of "It's now or never", and I'm glad to report that he never lost the touch, old and all as he is now.
I tried the toast test and it works just fine, thanks for the tip.
