Could toast be off the menu in our local hospitals?

An anonymous postcard was put through the door at 91Èȱ¬ Radio Gloucestershire. It claimed toast is being taken off the menu and wont be available anymore on the wards..

We'll be finding out more during this morning's show... and I'll be doing my best not to play the song "Toast... a little bit of... toast" that is already running around my head.

UPDATE 6th Thursday 6th May
You've been busy phoning, emailing and texting your reaction to the burning topic of the week:

Alan in Churchdown was in hospital for a week in 2008. They weren't allowed toast then.

John in Stonehouse had his tonsils out years ago and the doctor told him to eat toast after the operation as it was good for people who had just had that operation.

A nurse says she was burning toast in the 70s and 80s it's nothing new! They must want something better to do.

Tony in Cirencester didn't want us to talk about toast... he was fasting for a blood test and couldn't eat or drink till noon.

Dave in Cheltenham says that not having toast in hospital might make you miserable but it will give you one more thing to look forward to when you get out.

Sheila in Redmarley says perhaps they should go back to serving eggs and kippers - like they used too when the hospital was in Southgate Street !!!

Robert in Cheltenham says service personnel are killed and badly injured and people are moaning about toast being served in hospital.

Eddie from May Hill says they have a toaster with a timer... they've had it 7 years and have never burnt the toast!

Graham in Whitcombe works in IT in the G.R.H. They have a toaster but they set it so that it ejects before it burns!

Karen in Longlevens says toasters have been banned in Shire Hall for the same reason

Valerie in St Briavels was in hospital when she was 13 years old. There wasn't a toaster or grill and she missed her toast, so her mum brought some in on a Sunday morning wrapped up in paper. It was cold but worth it.

Barry in Brockworth says he will vote for the first candidate to insist on toast in hospitals. Never mind the economy! He's been in hospital many times and thinks it's only right to be able to have your toast for breakfast

Martin in Gloucester says he was in Cheltenham General last November and he wasn't allowed toast on the ward... however, he used to work there, so sneaked out to the staff area and made his own!
