I work at a large design company in London, and they very nicely provide bread and various spreads, Dorset Cereals etc for people to have breakfast when they get to work. This is very nice of them, except that it has had an unforeseen consequence…

…specifically the lost productivity which results from the fire brigade being called out twice in the space of a couple of weeks due to bread being left in the toaster too long. Now we all know that toast is a delicious and wholesome snack, but it has a sting in its tale, it can cost a branding agency million$.

I’m a big believer in design being able to solve most problems, so I’ve made a little modification to the toaster. Let’s see if it works. If it does, I think they owe me a pay rise…
