I've just had a look to see what the fuss is about. It's definitely some
toast! :) I quite like it.

It's not the first time I've seen toast-art either. I saw a Cardiff Art School
Final Year exhibition and one of the exhibits was a room with a cooker
(stove/oven) at one end and the floor covered in neatly arranged pieces of
toasted bread ranging from untoasted in one corner to totally blackened in the
other.

I have no idea what its purpose was but it made me smile.

Will.
