Two slices of Warburton's toast were set to burn beyond all recognition, yesterday, until a 7/7 hero bravely dived in to save them.In an ordinary, central London office kitchen, consultant, Amanda Sloan, had put her white bread slices into the toaster, expecting a nice lightly toasted bread awaiting her in minutes. But - crucially - she failed to check the timer. It was set for five minutes – two minutes more than her slices needed - but enough to turn Sloan's toast heaven into carbonised bread hell.
Not only was she two minnutes away from disaster, she made matters worse when she briefly fled the toaster area. Sloan nipped out of the kitchen to find a newspaper to read with her breakfast, thus leaving the bread toasting hopelessly out of control.
Fortunately for Sloan, her colleague, Lance Splinter, heroically raced to the rescue. Splinter, a 7/7 hero sniffed the start of a slightly acrid odour - and immediately sprung into action. A veteran of the London terroist attack - he saved himself from the potential carnage by not going anywhere near a danger area - clean-shaven Splinter smelled danger, just like he did that sad day in London's history.
Only this time, Splinter's heroism stepped up a further notch. He selflessly strode into the danger zone and just got a nail on the 'eject' button right before the toast burned.
Chiselled-featured Splinter told the PCP: “I just did what anyone would have done.”
