PS...A LEIGH pensioner has slammed a planned experiment that will see thousands of youngsters drop buttered toast on the floor - to test Murphy's Law.

Clifford Lee, writing in a national newspaper, says Robert Matthews, who wants them to carry out the experiment, was obviously not brought up in the twenties when people were told never to throw away a crust.

He says: "A crust you cannot eat? Many a little hungry one would think it quite a treat". Well said, Clifford.
