How to clean your fingernails

[Duncan Grimmond]

I started making bread after a demonstration in a "hippy, veggie, wholefood shop" in Birmingham while I was a student there in the early 1970s. The demonstrator from "Allinson's" flours made the point that you could either knead it in the bowl or on a table but you could be sure to have really clean hands when you were finished. My early loaves were a bit of the "hammer-and-chisel brick variety" but it did get better...and my hands are perfectly clean each time.
