Hey all,

Just wondering why when anything needs proving members ask for proof with pictures and bread!

I browse a lot of other forums and have never saw this before so was just wondering what it was all about :confused:

If anyone could enlighten me that would be great :p

Thanks, Sam
 
It's a joke stemming from Motors. If I remember rightly, some guy said he would take a pic of his car with a roll on the bonnet to prove it was his, Fox said that didn't prove anything as anyone could put a loaf of bread on a car that was not theirs and photograph it as "proof of ownership" and promptly did so.

It went on a bit and was funny for a while but since then it's got out of hand I think.

Started in the motor forum. Some guy had a car and people wanted him to prove it was his. So he put bread on it.
 
iirc fox, stuck some bread on someone else's car and took a photo, to prove that just putting your name/bread etc on something didn't prove it was yours. Weird how it went from that to proof of ownership >.<

Nope.

It was in the thread where a chap called 'The Stig' claimed to have some really bizarre cars. He decided he would prove he owned it by putting his lunch on the bonnet and taking a photograph.

I then decided to demonstrate how this proved absolutely nothing by putting my lunch - an entire, sealed loaf of bread - onto a car I didn't own (My dads 530d) to demonstrate to the forum how I'd clearly, obviously, using Stig's amazing logic, just bought myself an M5.

Then some other people got the wrong end of the stick and it spiralled from there. Now people think 'bread' proves something when the whole bread thing meant the complete opposite in the first place :p
 
Ahhh I see,

Well even with a thousand guesses I dont think I would have came to that conclusion!

Nice to have that one cleared up anyway :D

Bread is a common food source so there are doubtless many other bread tales over the internet. The ocuk specific one is as I told it.
