We called it the knob in my family. It would have come from theWelsh side of the family.charltonkeston said:
Is this a southeast London thing? Everybody in my family has always called it the knobby. My wife from darkest Kent had never heard of it when I met her. Also people that I have worked with who are not from around these parts don’t know it by this correct name.Bournemouth Addick said:Knobbys. Always and only knobbys.
So knob/knobby is a bit more widespread than SE London.0 -
I’ve only ever know it as the crust.18

My Irish wife also calls it the heel.guinnessaddick said:Heel, the thicker, the butter.0 -

I hate to call @DaveMehmet civilised but it is indeed the crust....5

We just call it the end bit3

We normally call it the crust now days, but when I was a boy it was known as knob / knobby, another local name that seem to been replaced by the respectable sounding London cheesecake was locally known as a hairy Mary, I can’t think why?2

The knob end was what my family called the end of a french stick, the end of a loaf is just the end. Makes everyone giggle when I ask who wants the knob end when I have a french stick to hand. Corrrr I could murder a proper french stick now, including the knob end, stuffed with roquefort and maybe a bit of proper, free range ham0

All this talk of crusty knob ends is doing me in.

I think the reason is very simple prior to 1960 I believe a cut loaf was relatively rare, and you went out abd brought a loaf every day or two, and a bloomer loaf which if you look at them then perhaps you can see where, there where different shapes and type of shop baked loafs back then.MrOneLung said:

TV and radio coverage of coronavirus.
It seems to consist of either patronising tossers telling everyone how to live their lives or people not social distancing making an inordinate amount of noise with saucepans and spoons with the police encouraging them.
I do my very best to avoid it but that is not always possible.2 -
Realizing I know nothing.
I came across this paragraph while checking out alternative communication methods that may be of use during lockdown.
Perhaps most exciting are Google Hangouts Chat's built-in integrations and bots. It comes with a built in@meetbot, which integrates with Google Calendar and Google Meet to set up an appointment with anyone on your team. You can browse through a wide range of bots that come with Hangouts Chat today, including one from Kayak that helps you find flights right from chat. And you can chat privately with bots or add them to rooms to get more done right from chat.
WTF?
This was perfectly adequate in my day.

I'd be way more worried that someone in your house currently has one of your sharp looking kitchen knives. Best of luck.heckington_reds said:Feck it...trying to make some homemade tomato sauce instead of paying £1.502 -

Anything with Simon Cowell in it.
Unfortunately my wife is obsessed with those programmes so, unless I shut myself away elsewhere which she hates me doing, I have to suffer particularly under circumstances as they are.2 -
Getting fed up with all these ads where 10 different people have to say one line each, mainly banking ones.4
