'Pin the knob on the Cerne giant.'
That one slipped out during editing (sorry). I hope they don't change it.

I am DISGUSTED that food is being wasted in this way when many people in this world are starving! >:(
-
They won't be edible, Floo. The knobs will be too hard.
-
But then those knobs were created just to be hard and tossed off over a field
-
4,000 of them apparently.

That's a lot of knobs: perhaps they congregate, such as at Tory party conferences.
-
At least if someone was hit by a flying knob they'd wouldn't be able to sue - it'd never stand up in court.

But they are using flour etc to make them one presumes?

Self raising flour?

This is the thing with knobs - you get nothing for ages then 4,000 come at once.
-
Self raising flour?
Plain would be disappointing.

I think it should be illegal to use food products in this way.

Yes -
'Originally they were made from leftover bread dough with added butter and sugar, hand-rolled into buns and left to dry in the dying heat of the oven
It is thought their name comes from the hand-sewn Dorset knob buttons that were also made locally
They can be eaten with Blue Vinny cheese, dipped in tea or cider, or taken with honey and cream - known locally as thunder and lightning'
Sound nice but I s'pose the ones being thrown are a day or more old so they're hard.
Floo regrettable as it may be there is lot of excess food thrown away in this country & more than a few old rolls. Meat & veg, deli stuff. Supermarket skips are filled up with good food every day. 'nuff to make you become a Freegan!

The rolls should be donated to the food banks before they become unusable.
-
Do food banks take bread type stuff? Maybe packaged,longlife bread like Scher. Doubt they take unpackaged rolls.
They could be donated to a homeless drop in centre.

It's Bank Holiday Monday and this is a thread about knob jokes. Be off with your serious food bank discussion.

Rhi,

A Jewish friend of mine told me that he had advance notice of this event. Apparently he'd had a tip off.

I was kicked off Ready, Steady, Cook.I misinterpreted the instruction "a knob of butter".

And a nob of butter...

4000 knobs being tossed off in a field. Who could ask for a more splendid sight.

Read TFA. They're made of left over bread dough.

It is still wasted FOOD and therefore WRONG, imo!

Birds rodents and foxes will eat it.
Those who only come out at night will gather up the rolls, take them back to their caves & toast over an open fire to dip in their communal soup cauldron.

Like we wish to encourage rodents or foxes! :o
-
The dormouse & vole are rare species but can't pick and choose who will eat if rolls scattered; hedgehogs might eat them (tho i read that bread isn't good for their digestion). Foxes eat rodents so the rolls would serve a dual purpose, feeing animals and controlling vermin. If the foxes are full up of bread and mice they won't pester the farmer's chickens. Problem solved! No waste at all ;D.

Me. I'd insist on having Leonard as the MC too.

It is most concerning that our Leonard hasn't logged on since October. :(

I know - such a lovely guy. Would love to hear from him again if anyone has any thoughts about that?

As noted previously a couple of times, we have tried various things to contact Leonard but with no result. Anyone with any ideas please feel free to PM mods with thoughts.
-
I too am sad not to see Leonard's posts any more. He always felt like an old friend, as most of us date back to BBC days.

I did one of my artwork creations for him some years ago, he was kind enough to say he liked it. :)

Do you remember his surname? It began with a "W" I think, but I don't remember it. If you do probably best not to post it here, but he did once link to his website (the link was taken down shortly afterwards) so if you google his name possibly the site will still be up with some info on it?

I have sent you a message.

Note the website is not up. As covered above, if any one has any suggestions, happy to receive and respond to PMs on this.

Sure you have heard of the 'phrase' " It takes a knob to know a knob".
I think we should be thankful that small things amuse small minds. But in the great scheme of things I am sure no knobs were hurt in the making of this thread and some knobs will even have been preserved.
But be sure whatever bank be it a holiday or otherwise. Knobs will continue in all walks of life and be appreciated by many more knobs before and after them.
Been a knobbing day for sure... But I understand Floo and I see your point. It is just knob one seems to be interested in
the more important things in life. Everyone be knob-bled for sure.
;) :)
