More than 200 production staff at Wigan's Hovis bakery have begun a week-long strike in a row over contracts and pay.

... no doubt hoping to "earn a half decent crust", by their way of it!

Being paid crumbs

...crumbs! Are they really "on the breadline"?

seems to me there isnt enough dough in breadmaking these days

I think it's a half-baked idea,there simply was no knead and who's gonna be the breadwinner now?

Some terrible bread puns so far.

Come on guys, at yeast put some thought into it...

I stopped buying Hovis bread the day after the photo of the dead mouse in their granary loaf was published a few years ago and haven't touched it since. Taking industrial action is yet another nail in the coffin .......... or slice in the bag!
